CURRENT MISSION

To discover the world, and hopefully myself along the way

ABOUT ME

I'm a really easy going guy and open to trying different experiences, especially when it comes to food, and, coming from a mixed background, will fully immerse myself in different cultures to get a different viewpoint of life.
I'm yet to discover what I really want in life, and I'm not afraid to admit i've made some mistakes in my past, some I still regret, but will nature make a man of me yet.
Unfortunately there's not enough time to discover every bit of the world in my lifetime but there's nothing wrong with trying! Let the adventures begin!

PHILOSOPHY

Leave your mind open to every possibility, and every view point. To jump head first and hope you come out ok on the other side. Trying everything at least once in your life and do it with no regrets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I currently live in Guiseley that has fantastic access to Leeds city centre by train (20min), and close to the rural outdoors that is the Yorkshire dales (Ilkley/Otley/Skipton).

For now I work the usual Monday - Friday (7am - 6pm) but am usually available at weekends and have a car so can go on regular trips if you wish!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I don't have any at the moment! Hope to update soon!

Interests

What would existence be without music - I love regularly going to see live bands with friends, or occasionally on my own when nobody is available! I regularly listen to the radio to discover new music, and have played bass/acoustic guitar, and even backing vocals, in a couple of bands when I was younger. I'm hoping couch surfing can give me some inspiration to write a few songs of my own.

Collecting Vinyls is a hobby of mine, and am more recently getting into Football/F1, but my heart lies in Rugby.

Photography is something i've always had an avid interest in but never the patience, so hopefully travelling will inspire me.
