About Me

I'm 21 years old living in the UK studying law at the University of Nottingham.

I'm always willing to try new foods and sports as well as visiting new places and enjoy being with those with an equally happy outlook on life.

I stay up way too late most of the time and am always up for a night out. I am not a morning person but will eventually drag myself from bed for anything more exciting than breakfast.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here to make new friends from across the world and to meet like - minded people with whom I can trade stories with.

I love the concept of couchsurfing and would be more than willing to pay it forward and host others in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

HAYAH, HAYAH. That is the sound of you learning karate and self - defence.
No seriously, I am a third dan black belt and would like nothing else but to share my knowledge with others willing to learn.

As a native English speaker, my English is, understandably, pretty good.
I'd be really happy to sit down with my host and teach some language skills.
I'm also pretty proficient in German so if you want to learn some random words and some basic stuff to talk to other German speakers, I'm your man.

Can also play the clarinet, so if you have a spare one around (as I don't tend to bring mine with me when travelling) I would gladly try to teach you some tunes.

If you want to learn how to play chess - feel free to ask me. If you are somewhat experienced at chess, I'm always up for a game!
