About Me

**Currently living in Canley, might be able to host, it's 20 mins to Birmingham on the train**

Full time maths slave... some vagabonding on the side.

In the shell of a nut I'd say I...

...live for food and beer
...am a collosal, collosal nerd
...am trying to end my prejudice by meeting everyone and seeing everything!

p.s please help me paint this ⬇️ map red!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Surfing:

I tend to travel alone so it's about the social side of things. My best memories are times spent with lovely people, quite a lot of them from CS!

Hosting:

I like to decorate life with interesting little encounters and hosting gives me the chance!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been human - which admittedly isn't that amazing for you other humans... I'm pretty excited about it though :)

Teach, Learn, Share

Calculus? ... No? Well it was worth an ask. I'm happy talking about anything, but what I know most about is obviously maths, I guess travelling on a shoestring budget, and all the stuff you would expect a British person to know, so do ask away if you are planning to visit the UK.

Always learning so whatever you've got an interest in, I'd love to find out more :)

As for sharing, I would love to know your favourite book, musician and movie from your country?

What I Can Share with Hosts
