About Me

I am a 21 year old english graduate who is travelling around Latin America and the USA for 7 months. I enjoy meeting new people, being active and experiencing different cultures. When I England I spent my time either surfing, playing team sports or socialising with friends and family.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The most enjoyable part of my travels so far has been meeting local people. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to meet locals and experience a place from a different perspective. All of the people who have recommend couchsurfing to me have plenty great stories to tell. Hopefully, I can repay some of the hospitality others show to me when I am back in England.

Interests

Meeting/socialising with people - I'm easy, whether its relaxing at home with friends, bars or clubs.

I love surfing - its bloody cold in England so I'm going to enjoy my 3 months surfing in costa Rica.

Skiing - I ski in the European alps once a year. I also do indoor freestyle skiing back in England.

Other sports I play/do - football (soccer), tennis, rugby, cricket sailing

I follow a lot of the sports I play on television. More recently I've been getting into American Football.

Food - can't forget food. I'm not joking when I say that I like all foods except for parsnips.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a massive film fan. I don't really have a prefered genre but i'm in no doubt about what my favourite film is. Its "catch me if you can". I love all aspects of the film. I believe that i'm more drawn to the film because I applied to be a pilot for the RAF and for a commercial airline. Unfortunately, unlike leonardo dicaprio, I didn't have the skills/charm to forge my way onto the flight deck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

It depends what you think is amazing, haha. I unknowingly swam in shark infested waters for 30 minutes. Only after finding out about the sharks did it make sense that no one else was swimming.

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach surfing, English and bad jokes.

Learning - A lot, teach me anything.

Share - I've accumulated a lot of good stories on my travels which I could share.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to think that I'm pretty upbeat and outgoing. I'm sure that we'd have a good time.
