CURRENT MISSION

Tick off as many countries as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm relatively quiet, preferring to respond to others rather than lead a conversation, but I love meeting new people. There's so much interesting stuff to talk about! I love travelling and seeing new places for the first time more than anything else in the world. I live for the short-lived friendships, they pack more intrigue and memories into a few hours or days than long-term friends can manage in a decade.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My first experience of couchsurfing was all around the fabulous US of A. Since then I've couchsurfed in Norway, Israel, Jordan, Turkey, and France.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

See above. Great memories everywhere I've been. The people I've stayed with have been more valuable an experience than the places. It's a brilliant way to travel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked up the mountain from Aguas Calientes to Macchupichu without quite realising what I was doing. I'm proud of that in my non-conformist way. Most normal people pay the money and take the bus, heh.

Flying over the south rim of the Grand Canyon in a helicopter was pretty spectacular too. Impressive doesn't even cover it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Travel unprepared. You'll learn more about yourself that way. It might not work out, but what's the worst that could happen?
