My name is Craig,

I was born and raised in a small-ish town right in the middle of England called Grantham. Its a brilliant little place to grown up, but it's also the kind of place where people just stay, not really my thing if I'm honest. Most of my family have been travellers, all my aunts and uncles on my mums side have spread across the world. Who knows where I might end up myself?

I have a simple outlook on life, I feel like I'm a trusting person and really enjoy my friends and value real friendship. I can be quiet from time to time, but I love making people laugh..that's all we really need in life. :)

I'm returning to traveling and couchsurfing properly for the first time since the pandemic. So far its been amazing and I'm excited to re-meet the world!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am truly fascinated by this community, my aim is to travel and meet as many people as possible. I hope to also one day be in a good position to host others. Experiences are always better when you can share them with someone!
Even better if i can meet people who know the area and really help you get under the skin of a place. You don't really know a city unless you have seen with a local.

Interests

Music is most of what I am about, thats what ive studied at uni. I would also consider myself a massive movie guy. I'm not afraid to go to the cinema alone, I think that's one of the many benefits of getting older, that you stop caring about what people think. I would rather live the experience alone than miss out because no one wanted too.
Also a big gaming fan, one of my favourite past times as a kid. :)
