About Me

I am new to this but here goes....

I am 24 years old and often described as being a big kid, full of energy with a mature perspective on life. I am also described as being fun, caring, patient and positive - always finding the brighter side to any bad situation.

My employment history is certainly that of a varied one, including working in security, sales, restaurants and customer service. I am currently an Au Pair living in Salamanca, Spain.
I am extremely sociable, meeting new people is amazing! I love having conversations that go deeper than the norm but also I love those silly conversations that go out of control with sillyness because life is to short to always be serious right?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on a quest to visit as many countries as possible and meet lots of interesting people! I left England in October 2015 with only a bag on my back and my girlfriend by my side, with no idea when (Or if) I will be returning to the UK.
I am on couch surfing because it was recommended to me that it is an exciting way of traveling the world and always having friends where ever you go! This journey excites me very much and I am very much looking forward to sharing some funny stories and conversing over some interesting topics.

Interests

My hobbies include photography, film editing and meditation. Also in my spare time I like visiting different places, riding my bicycle and spending time with my friends and family.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music..... I love pretty much all music, it just depends which mood I am in to listen to it! At the moment I am listening to some piano but yesterday it was some acoustic blues and the day before was some rock and rap!

Movies.... South park movie is by far my favourite, its one of those movies that can be watched over and over again. I think my age was about 9 when I first saw it (Interesting story to tell you about that!) and since then it has been watched so many times! I also enjoy a wide variety of films from drama, to comedy! I would be lying if I said that I didn't enjoy watching those chick flicks with the girlfriend ;)

Books... I haven't read many books which is a shame because actually the ones that I have read were incredible. Siddhartha and Steppenwolf were inspirational!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Late at night in Nepal, suddendly deciding to to go on a massive road trip with quite a few of us on the motorbikes. We slept by the side of a road next to a river, then woke up and carried on! Also, having a rap battle with one of the most famous rappers in Nepal!
