About Me

ABOUT ME
I grew up in the United Kingdom, and I now live in the United States.
I've been around the world so I am generally a relaxed person who is easy to talk to, and gets along with just about anyone as long as he or she also makes the effort into getting to know me as well.

I recently graduated college so I am usually up to go out to parties, or having a few drinks at the bar!

I am also learning German and Spanish, so I would enjoy any opportunity to practice improving my conversation in those languages! :D

I am currently preparing for my trip around Europe around mid-August, visiting Spain and Germany.

Also: If anyone practices Street Workout/ Calisthenics, I would love to check out local outdoor parks suited for calisthenics!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am new to couchsurfing, and I hope to meet great, friendly locals from different countries and to share good times!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed to the top of a 3510 ft mountain in Alaska, all by myself.
Unfortunately, on the way down, I tumbled several hundred feet and broke my hand, but still managed to make it down safely otherwise!

Traveled 4 countries in 6 days: Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Trinidad & Tobago

Learned how to speak conversational german in only 3 months of studying in Germany

Teach, Learn, Share

Anything from working out, languages, sharing stories, etc.... because the way I see it, the possibilities are endless!

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you are curious about American culture and how different it is, I'm always willing to share with you details, whatever it is you want to know! :-)

If you like to be fit, I can also show you Street Workouts.
(If you are not sure what that is, search "Baristi Workout" on youtube)

We can also share our favorite wine or beer, because why not?
