I'm a 21 year old student looking to travel the world and make friends whilst doing so. I study Literature and Philosophy.

I am interested in sound system culture - particularly in breakbeat, jungle and dub - and I would like to explore the underground music scenes that the world has to offer.

Besides music, I am a lover of the natural world: I am interested in marine conservation, mountaineering, rock climbing, bouldering, scuba diving, free diving, and just general exploring. In one sentence, I'd say I'm an easy going guy who likes adventure!

I am polite and well-mannered.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Long term: I am a huge advocate for the benefits of solo travelling and this app seems perfect for helping you gravitate towards like-minded individuals along the way.

Short term: I am preparing for an upcoming trip; I have booked a one way flight to Slovenia and the plan is to travel down through Croatia, into Montenegro, and hopefully end up in Albania. Naturally, as a student, I'm doing this on a budget so I'm looking to save money where possible! This app seems perfect for saving money on hotel fees, whilst also helping make friends and avoid the tourist traps; ideal!
