About Me

Hi, I'm Caleb and I am from England. I did a good few adventures in my gap between finishing uni and starting work in September, but until my next one I'd like to host some people, just to scratch the itch.
I studied computer science whilst I was at university but I like to break away from screens and social norms when I can. I try to live by the quote "Life doesn't start until you leave your comfort zone".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet cool interesting people whilst not having to worry about money.
If someone puts me up for a night I want them to know I would return the favour.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I listen to a pretty wide range of music but my favourite band is The Lumineers. I also really enjoy Mumford and Sons, Imagine Dragons, Passenger, Jon Bellion, Bon Iver, Mike Posner, Chance the Rapper, Childish Ghambino and Macklemore.

Movies: I love watching all the critically acclaimed movies. My favourite movies are: Arrival, Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, Coach Carter, Logan, Star Wars, Life of Pi, The Lion King and Django Unchained.

Books: Anything by Brandon Sanderson, but I love the Mistborn books a lot. How to Train your Dragon.
