CURRENTLY IN WALES

I am from small town called Colwyn Bay on the North coast of Wales.

I lived in Liverpool for 3 years studying Filmmaking. What I especially love about this is that I can apply my chosen profession to almost anything, so I have created videos about the city's music scene, Mixed Martial Arts, Mountain Rescue Services, and of Animals.

I spent 6 months in Vietnam so I know a lot about this proud and beautiful country, if you have any questions feel free to ask.

I am currently studying Mandarin Chinese 普通话 , so if you can also speak it, or have an interest maybe we can practise languages together :)

I studied 6 months in Xiamen, and in Hangzhou for a further 6 months. These are two of the most beautiful cities, in China. I'd really encourage you to visit.

You can hit me up if you want to hang out. I'd love to make some new friends who like to travel.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I adore travelling, and have found that following the tourist map dot-to-dot doesn't quite give you the awesome experience that a local or someone living in the area could provide. Every host (or fellow surfer) I have yet met has been a great character.

Interests

Rock climbing -

Mountaineering - My home country has got to be one of the best places in the word for hiking, home to to Snowdonia National Park. Travelling allows access to varied landscapes on far distant corners of the globes.

Surfing absolutely rocks. I used to work on the bar at a Wavegarden 'Surf Snowdonia', so I got a good bit of practise in after work. However nothing beats exploring new beaches on foreign shores. Show me the best spots in your town.

photography,
videography,
writing,
motorbiking,
films, TV, and good food :)

I make a variety of videos which you can check out on my blog.

I play a little guitar and sing, I particularly like folk and indie music but appreciate all kinds aswell.

我在厦门大学学习了四个月的汉语，所以我要跟中国人练习说活！
