About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet as many great open minded fun wacky people from all over the globe. i love traveling and would love to start hosting, holidays are allways better when locals show you around!!!!!! love it

ABOUT ME

I'm 26, Have a apartment in London and absolutely love travelling, it’s my favorite hobby. It isn’t always cheap though and I have spent an awful lot of money travelling in the past.

My best experience was spending 6 months globetrotting in 2007 and I have been to:

UK, France, Spain, Germany, Switzerland, Morocco, Austria, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Turkey, Cyprus, Italy, Portugal, Jordan, Syria, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Netherlands, Sweden, Pakistan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Laos, and others.

Some more than once! It’s so good to see the world

PHILOSOPHY

The world is too small now to not go out and see it.

This is a hard question, I believe in open arms and differences of culture race and religion are only skin deep. If you believe in god then we are all his children and if you don't then we all share a common link. Most people are good kind hearted and a mirror of you, treat others kindly and you will be treated well.

Money isn’t everything, capitalism degrades society and belongs in the animal world, and nothing can beat love happiness and friendship, instead of going out and taking, give and feel the positive energy you gain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just joined after being told about this site. I want to have a couple of successful couch surfs and repay by offering my couch to others!

Why: The main reason i love youth hostels is the people you meet are so cool. I Have had people i've met travelling stay at mine a few times, its really nice to make good freinds and makes life more fun enjoyable and rewarding.
