About Me

I'm a 21-year-old student about to graduate from university with a Masters degree in Civil Engineering. I want to travel the world in my free time while I am young and able to, to gain more experience of other cultures, the world, and life.
I truly believe travelling will change who you are, as seeing and meeting many different cultures, people, and places, will give you a better understanding of what the world is. I am curious to find out about the world that we all live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is a great place for me to be immersed in the culture and community of the countries I visit. Going to high-end hotels away from the people will give you a different experience. I want a different experience. I want to spend time with the inhabitants of the places I visit and explore the offerings of the local area. I want to talk with them, spend time with them, and participate in the activities they perform, such as cooking, travelling, working etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

I don't have favourites. Each of them were good at the time as I was a different person in the past, and I am different now, and I will be different still.
I prefer to watch new movies, listen to new music, and read new books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I solved my scoliosis. I had scoliosis that was giving me a great amount of back pain, discomfort, and lack of mobility, which limited my capability to play sports and move.
I struggled deeply with it, and many healthcare professionals are not knowledgeable in dealing with scoliosis. After battling it for a long time, I solved my scoliosis, and now I help other people solve problems within their body!

Teach, Learn, Share

A cloud weighs around a million tonnes. A cloud typically has a volume of around 1km3 and a density of around 1.003kg per m3 – that's a density that’s around 0.4 per cent lower than the air surrounding it (this is how they are able to float).

Earth’s rotation is changing speed. It's actually slowing. This means that, on average, the length of a day increases by around 1.8 seconds per century. 600 million years ago a day lasted just 21 hours.

Your brain is constantly eating itself. This process is called phagocytosis, where cells envelop and consume smaller cells or molecules to remove them from the system. Don’t worry! Phagocytosis isn't harmful, but actually helps preserve your grey matter.

Wearing a tie can reduce blood flow to the brain by 7.5 per cent. A study in 2018 found that wearing a necktie can reduce the blood flow to your brain by up to 7.5 per cent, which can make you feel dizzy, nauseous, and cause headaches. They can also increase the pressure in your eyes if on too tight and are great at carrying germs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my time, knowledge, energy, and creativity. I make sure to keep my energy high, and I am very willing to share that with the host. I make sure that I never lower my energy and I always perform greatly, do my best, and then do even more.
For any host that it willing to take me, I am sure my personality will give you a great experience and I want to spend time with you to learn more about your life and your experiences.
