Upcoming Trip: Latvia, Estonia, Finland January 2020

\\\

I'm a friendly guy from the Midlands, UK, looking to travel and explore the world to understand new perspectives.

I've recently finished studying a Masters in American History and Politics, and I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world.

Things I Love Most In This World: Friends and Family // Dogs (specifically Shibas) // Music // Ice Hockey //

Any questions, please just ask!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people from different places, and understand the beauty of differing perspectives. I also want to hear suggestions on what to see/do from local people, and experience the genuine character of places - not simply visiting the 'TripAdvisor Top 10 Things to See'.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was in the first group of Europeans to meet the Kaxinawá Tribe in the Amazon Rain Forest. Apparently they said I look like ghost due to my pale complexion... 👻

I stayed with them for 3 weeks installing solar panels and water pumps, and saw a few too many tarantulas for my liking.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can play the trumpet and piano to a high level (and a fair few other instruments!) so I'm always happy to help people with music. I also love to discuss history and politics, and I'm keen to learn from and understand other people's views!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm always grateful to anybody that can host me, and as such I will always make sure I keep areas clean and tidy.

I'm also super friendly and talkative, so I'm keen to have conversations and share my experiences with open-minded people.

When I'm back in London, perhaps one day I when you visit I could return the favour and host you too!
