CURRENT MISSION

ticking boxes, left, right and centre.

ABOUT ME

I'm a graduate from the University of Leeds studying Joint Honours Geography and History. I'm originally from Kent and moved to West Yorkshire with the intention of getting really far away from home as I could really, without going to Scotland or Newcastle. .

Please read my blog for various travel memoirs at: http://mumbledwordsandridiculousfaces.blogspot.com/

PHILOSOPHY

My general life philosophy is that of ticking boxes.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted Radim from the Czech Republic for two nights and completed a trans-America Greyhound excursion with three friends with the help of Michael, Brett, Meghan and Sheri in Chicago, Dom in Minneapolis, Allan in Winnipeg, Nathan in Regina, Troy in Victoria and Alyssa in Portland.

Interests

I'm heavily into music, particularly DIY punk music but also lots of other stuff such as post-rock, indie, folk and bits of metal. My aim in life was to make it to The Fest in Gainesville, Florida last October, which I did. And then I made it back in 2011. Now my aim is to move back to Chicago where I spent 4 months.

Obviously I'm a big adherent of travelling and would like to visit as many countries as I can. I'm also into football (Chelsea) and films and all that stuff that everyone's into. I'm also vegetarian!
