About Me

I call myself the Backpacker Economist. Thinking Economics changes the way you look at travel. You find deeper meaning in observing why locals behave the way they do. Been backpacking around India over the last year after realising that life is too short to be sitting at a desk. I dabble with political cartoons , love football/soccer and am a cooking dilettante. Massive Westbromwich Albion FC fan. My dream is to watch atleast one football match in a 101 countries I plan to visit and then write a book about it. I also spend a considerable amount of time covering football fans from around the world and blogging and vlogging about them.
My next destination is South East Asia .
A big thank you to anyone willing to host me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I looked at life beyond a desk when I let an Irish-American -Hippieish tattoo covered stranger travelling the world- walk in through my door and crash on my bed. A stranger has been a game changer.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am like more melody and little less of angst. Its sometimes in writings and songs you find transcended truth, and you are like yeahhh this makes so much sense to me. I find meaning in music , and that could be right from EDM to Alternative Rock.
Massive Massive fan of Switchfoot. I think they write the best lyrics ever!!!
