Really I just enjoy a cup of tea and a book.

English, polite, eccentric and tattooed, i'm an easy going, thoughtful and talkative (or so i've been told). I'm currently at that fluid stage of life just after university where anywhere but home seems preferable, preferably with sun during the day and parties during the evening. I love a good talk, and love to travel because of all the interesting people that I meet. Last summer I got to go to the Czech Republic for 6 weeks then onto Budapest for 2. Along the way I had some of the most enlightening experiences of my life and also met a lot of people who I still talk to now.

For my last job interview, I had to write a page of writing about whatever best represented me. I kept it and put it on my blog, if you'd like to get to know my brain, click here: http://averagelad.blogspot.fr/2014/10/had-to-write-something-for-interview.html

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been travelling using Air BnB recently but I ran out of the funds for that. Also I found that couchsurfing is testament to a lot more than just 'hosting'. I feel like this website is more of a social network for people who all share the common interest of travelling, so for me its a better way to meet some pretty neato people
