A rather lovely open minded Brit who loves discovering and meeting new faces, places and cultures. I am currently heading to the wonderful land of Oz, first point of call Melbourne to work and travel the country. I love a good cooking session, deep or light conversation talker (choose your pick when it suits) and enjoy learning from others as let's face it, you don't get much from school! Will help out with whatever is needed round the house and happy to get stuck in. Would say I'm funny but that would be up for you to decide!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I want to meet locals or people of similar intent. Good to get away from the backpacking scene for a while...ya naw what I mean?

Interests

Life (loosely speaking) but more specifically reading, some level of health and fitness, learning and consuming knowledge...writing (if I get my act together) and recently just discovered a love for surfing, which is truly the greatest sport ever. Of course coming from my home town of Bristol I love music and going out to see music, so that's a key element to feeling happy.

Driving a motorbike around Vietnam but mainly solo around the northern part of the Chinese border was pretty epic.
