About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get my degree as fast as possible and set off to explore the world.

ABOUT ME

Being Maltese I guess I am a somewhat very chilled, relaxed guy. Easy to get on with and very open to meeting new people, wherever they may be from. I like to think that I am ambitious with what I want to do with my life, and enjoy a challenge, more importantly I can say that I enjoy life. I try to have fun when and where I can, with whomever I can.

PHILOSOPHY

Appreciate the little things. The people, possessions or anything that you have in the present. Take opportunities when they come your way, keep your head held high and stride through life but don't do it alone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

My plan is to find cheap flights from Manchester to places in Europe I have not yet visited and take it from there. I hope to use couch surfing as an excuse to meet some fun, interesting people, who I might be able to share some good times with on my travels.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I had couch surfed in Brussels for a few days in February 2013. It was a fantastic experience, my host was very welcoming, and through him I got to learn more than I expected about Belgian culture, politics and history. After experiencing how CSing can bring a different perspective to travelling, I cannot imagine travelling without it. Looking forward to my next trip.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have yet to do anything that has been incredible, I hope to do so one day, for now these are the few small things I've done which I particularly enjoyed:
- Cycling in the Highlands and the Peak District
- Participating the 21st world scout Jamboree
- Watching Muse live at wembley and Periphery live in Manchester
- Hiking (in the good old days) with my buddies in scouts, I've had some of the weirdest, wildest, sickest and most amazing moments of my life with them.
