CURRENT MISSION

Road trip from Minnesota to New York in 1st week of July 2012

ABOUT ME

I'm a 29 year old English guy living in Sydney with my girlfriend. I work as an analyst for retail loyalty schemes, and in my spare time I listen to lots of music, play guitar, go to gigs, have a laugh in pubs, go for dinner, cook dinner, read biographies and sci-fi books, watch movies and box sets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In July 2012 I drove from Minneapolis to New York, stopping in a different city each night. I stayed with several lovely folk that I met on CS, and each time had an awesome time, enjoyed good company, and saw places I would never have seen otherwise, like local neighbourhood bars in Toledo, and concerts in Madison and Buffalo.

Interests

When travelling I like wandering around new places, trying the food, the coffee, and the beer! Going to gigs is cool, as is hanging out in a pub for some conversation and laughs. I like to see what is unusual and unique to a place, be that botanic gardens, sculpture parks, local hangouts or warehouse parties.
