Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see things from a different perspective and meet as many different people and gain as many new experiences as I can whilst doing so! I love food so for me a large part of travelling is eating some amazingly tasty cuisines. I'm also a massive film fan so any movie recommendations are greatly welcome (and I'll happily return the favour).
PHILOSOPHY
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
~ Albert Camus
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I think the best way to really get to know a place is through the people who actually live there. I've always loved sharing recommendations and finding out things that aren't always in the guide books or online.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climbing/Scrambling Pico Tunari in Bolivia when in one day we stupidly went from 2500m to over 5000m and getting swollen hands and blurred vision on the way down due to the altitude.
