I'm normally so reluctant to write these things, but here goes my bodged attempt at doing so....

I'm addicted to travelling - to discovering new cultures and places. I'm fascinated by cities and love to hear the diverse array of languages and taste the delights of traditional cuisines. I have a passion for the urban environment, I love simply strolling through a new city discovering wonderful and quirky architecture and letting the buzz of a place seep in - even what may be a mundane everyday activity can be a fascinating sight for a traveler!

I'd like to think I'm relatively outgoing, although i'm sure that this is something still to be worked on! I love to hear about other people's culture, passions and interests. I pride myself on being a profoundly passionate person when it comes to discussing the history and future of my home town and my interests in my local football team (Middlesbrough FC). I believe I am quite a receptive person and open-minded and would love to hear others thoughts and opinions on the world (although I may tend to disagree from time to time!)

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

Trying to get myself out there to meet new and interesting people and really immerse myself in new cultures and understanding towns and cities better.
