About Me

ABOUT ME

Im a very social and outgoing, friendly and helpful 29 year old guy and always up for having a good time. I like adventures and being quite spontaneous in my travels. Im a Carpenter by trade but also during my travels I have worked in many Pubs and Cocktail bars and have worked all over England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland since leaving Australia. Travelling and meeting new people all the time is my biggest passion in life. So far i've been travelling non stop for about 4 years.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Me and My old house mates in London used too host people and found that it was mutually a great way too meet people from around the world and also learn more about different languages that Im trying to learn and taking in some of the culture as well which was cool. I've also stayed at friends and friends of friends houses in countries all around Europe and its been an amazing experience and great way too travel.

Interests

Going out with friends, love all sports especially football, my biggest passion is travelling with a plan to travel the world over 10 years. Im currently 4 years into my travels. I also enjoy meeting people from all over the world and sharing each others travelling experiences.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Instead of taking the normal tourist rout through the Bulkans, I met up with two other spontaneous people I had met in a hostel in Croatia and we caught local village boats with the local village people, farm animals,building supplies ect through these amazing crystal clear rivers and lakes which took us through places we though we would never visit Albania and Kosovo and the things we experienced and sore travelling through these countries were amazing and loved the culture. A must see if you get the chance too get off the beaten track.
