About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Save the world, solve world hunger, cure cancer. But in the meantime, travel and meet people!

ABOUT ME

In 2010 I travelled across America with two friends. I'm now planning an enormous trip for January-May 2015 taking in Africa, South America, Central America and the USA. It would be awesome to meet some fun people as I travel so that I can get a taste for real life in these places!

Apart from that, I am an amateur guitarist/singer, a keen video games enthusiast and a lover of fun. I take nothing seriously....except comedy.

PHILOSOPHY

Eek, not sure I have a philosophy. I just want to have fun. Is fun a philosophy?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When travelling, by being the best guest I can be and by bringing my ridiculous British humour and fun loving spirit to an already existing community.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Me and two friends travelled across the USA from Florida to California. In doing so we found out about Couch Surfing and it has been a revelation! Thank you to all the people who so kindly hosted us, gave us a place to shower, fed us, showed us around or just joined us for a party!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Most of the amazing things I've done and seen were on my trip of the USA. Played music on the streets of New Orleans and Las Vegas and made reasonable money (and a few friends) doing so....there's a good one for starters. Hiked along the South Rim of the Grand Canyon (phenomenal), went to the Golden Gate Bridge on Christmas Day, tailgated with the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa, stood in the same spot as Elvis and Johnny Cash at Sun Studios...the list goes on.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd like to learn Japanese, and magic (particularly card) tricks. Keen to pick up some Spanish given the countries I'll be visiting.

I can teach you everything there is to know about Mario Kart, a few things on guitar and how to make the world's greatest omelette. I'm sorry I can't be more helpful...

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories, jokes, songs, food and drink. I like cooking for groups!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkey, United States
