Pretty easy company... until somebody cracks out the philosophy! An open minded, inexperienced traveler whose thoughts have (so far) traveled far further than him. Though I've been lucky to visit some incredible places, I feel like I've "traveled" very little!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people eager to share their culture and their home... is there a better way to travel?

Interests

I am trying to learn some basic programming at the moment (python). The progress is slow to be honest but enjoying it thoroughly. I'm always reading something weird and wonderful, and have an opinion on most things (though always happy to change it!).

• writing

• politics
• squash
• ski
• kickboxing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I stayed in the Laos jungle for 3 days in the tallest tree house in the world, travelling on zip lines maintained by the locals. Travelling a km on zip line, above the jungle with fraying ropes: frightening and awe inspiring...

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a drunk counselor and confidant of the highest caliber....

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm talkative, open-minded and low maintenance! I am very happy to cook but whether my standards are acceptable is down to you! I'm good for a student (take that as you will...). Otherwise it'll have to be beers!
