I’m a 26 year old English guy, currently travelling around Europe preparing for cycle tours this summer around Turkey and Scandinavia. I’ve worked on ski seasons as a bartender and across Europe in other jobs like in vineyards, bakeries or campsites. I’m easy going, love cooking and anything remotely sporty!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to travel and explore new cultures is to learn the native languages and meet locals. I’ve previously used Warmshowers for cyclists and only ever had good experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sucker for old music and mostly indie rock: the talking heads, the kinks, arcade fire, but also into foreign music to help learn the language. Movies; anything by Taika Watiti, 12 angry men, Leon, Inglorious basterds

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Longest cycle tour around 13 countries of Europe over a couple of months. Climbed as many of the highest roads in each country as I could find along the way too!

Teach, Learn, Share

Would be happy to speak in any of the languages I know or am learning, and share local knowledge of my area when hosting. Always keen to learn about new things or people’s passions.
