About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy

ABOUT ME

I suppose I'm like a lot of other couchsurfers on this great community - a love for travelling, meeting new people, open-minded, flexible, and keen to learn.

I have many passions, but travel must be the most. I've lived in Japan (2 years), and the Phillipines (4 months), and have travelled nearly all parts of Europe, Mexico, Guatamala, Belize, and South-East Asia.
Unfortunatly, I did most of my travels in my 20s before couchsurfing started, hence so many missed opportunities :-(

I think I come with a unique sense of British humour. Some of the couchsurfers I met have taken a while to understand it, but once they do, they know nearly everything I say is not serious.

I don't expect too much from people - I don't demand that couchsurfers I meet spend lots of time with me. We are all busy people and even if I can get just a few hours with someone, then I'm happy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed with a few couchsurfers, and all my experiences have been very positive. I have made some friends for life, and I hope that continues for many years to come.

Interests

My main hobby is cycling in the countryside and walking is my new adventure. I love playing different sports activities such as football, tennis, and basketball. Going to new places, meeting friends, and nightclubbing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Japan for two amazing years, and one day I will definetely go back there to live. When I was 24, I was very negative - when I returned from Japan aged 27, I was, and still am, very positive about life. Thank you the land of the rising sun.
