About Me

I'm a 21 year old Englishmen who grew up in Worcestershire (Yes where the sauce is from...)

My life basically revolves around sport. I am into Football (Soccer), Cricket and Baseball quite fanatically. I have been a season ticket holder for the football team I support (Kidderminster Harriers FC) since I can remember and I also got membership at Worcestershire County Cricket Club this year. I try to watch as much of it as possible wherever I go and it's a reason I like to go travelling.

I also love music, I haven't been to many shows recently but I am looking to change that for the rest of the year and beyond. I have a vinyl collection with over 100 LP's and 7"s (Sounds like a baby compared to other collections i've seen though hahah!)

I've put occupation as Student for now but I actually start University in September. I left my job at a Financial Services company in May so I could spend the summer travelling!

I will be studying Economics in September and have an interest in working within Investment Analysis when I graduate.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always said that the best part about travelling is meeting locals. Staying in hostels is great, but there is nothing better than speaking to local people who know your destination like the back of their hand.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am 100% literate in English slang, so I can teach that to anybody who hosts me.

I'd be happy to share tips and tricks to getting around the UK for anyone who wants to visit.

I'm also attempting (yes attempting) to get better at cooking so I could rustle up some top scran (see I'm already teaching you english slang) for us to eat.
