Hey! My name is Chris. Right now I live in London. I work full time here but when I can I love to escape the city and see the world. I am new to couchsurfing.com but I am excited to try it out next time I go abroad.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In November I will be visiting Mexico City and in Feb 2017 I will be in Rio de Janeiro for the Carnival! It would be great to meet some of you then. The reason I travel is to open my mind to all the world has to offer. One key part of this for me is being able to meet people from around the world. In the past I have met people by staying in hostels, but what better way to meet the locals than to stay at their place?

If you are ever in London please give me a should.

Interests

I am a very keen runner looking to run around the world. I love to be outside in nature either running along a beach, through a forest or up a mountain. If running is not your think, don't fear! I often like to run in the mornings and then we can see the city and hang out during the rest of the day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was last in Mexico I hired a car to do a road trip around Yucatan. Here I made friends with some locals who invited me to their home in Chiapas. The thought of going into the jungle was great and terrifying at the same time, but I would hate myself if I turned down this kind of opportunity. In the end I had a brilliant time: I climbed waterfalls, learnt to cook the local cuisine and made some life-long friends. Life is about creating new experiences!
