About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I want to direct the greatest movie ever made. Might take me a while...

ABOUT ME

Quite happy go lucky I like to think. Always interested in meeting new people and trying new things. At my happiest when I'm doing something for the first time. Would spend the rest of my life travelling if money grew on trees (it doesn't, I watered a pound coin for a year once and nothing happened!).

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people how you want to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As much as I love staying in cool and funky hostels you don't get the same experience as being shown a foreign location by someone local. Not only is this great way to explore a new area but you get to meet interesting and exciting people, what more could you want!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had my first couch surfing experience in Hong Kong very recently. It was only for a night but it was a great experience all the same. I've also unofficially surfed some of the finest couches South London has to to offer!

Interests

Travelling (kinda goes without saying really), music, film, photography, sport, clubbing, meeting new people and generally living life to the full!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I always say my best travel experience so far has to be my first one, Australia. Although I didn't see as much of the country as I would have liked I still had an incredible time. Especially when travelling through the Outback. More recently I have love, love, loved Japan.

Teach, Learn, Share

As obvious an answer as this sounds, I want to learn about new places but especially the types of things that you won't find in your average guide book. If I can learn a new language and learn how to surf at the same time then great! I hope I can return the favour by teaching people about the less publicised aspects of my country, the UK, as well.

Countries I’ve Visited

Guatemala, Japan, Mexico, South Korea

Countries I’ve Lived In
