About Me

I'm a happy-go-lucky dude, who enjoys the company of all people in all walks of life. Wherever they may be walking.

I take photos of quirky people, I draw tables as a way to beat the loneliness of life, I listen to a new playlist at least once a month, I like to cook for people, I explore abandoned places, I enjoy long conversations, I party to the sounds of the 90s, I sing an average karaoke - usually bohemian rhapsody, I enjoy life and what it has to offer.

My experience with travel is that it's enjoyable with strangers and friends alike. With the hope the stranger turns into the latter.

Currently I can't host. But once I have a place I will :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The first solo trip was at an airbnb place, which was originally a couchsurfing house, hosted by a guy called Dan from Prague, and I loved it. Since then I've met some great people and look forward to the next few people I get to meet.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Watched the sun rise from complete darkness over stone henge during the summer solstice (the highest point in the sky the sun is). It was amazing how many different gradients of colour happened and also the order of the colours, it was quite unexpected.

Teach, Learn, Share

TEACH
I can draw ok, photographs are ok, but I can teach them pretty ok too.

LEARN
Seeking history, culture, and philosophy.

SHARE
Your drink preference, a photo you probably didn't want of you, pretty decent company.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like positive vibes and I'm generally chill, but I like to match energy. I'm really go with the flow, so I'm always up for things, but if I have a certain plan, I become very eager to do it.
