Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always happy to be a CS host, but unfortunately, my work means that I can be out of town quite a lot.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I first met up with some fellow Surfers in LA in 2012 and since then, I am happy to be a host and I try to go to as many CS events as I can :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a lover of action, thriller and comedy movies, anything in those categories normally normally take my fancy!

With books, i'm a fan of the Jack Reacher book series by Lee Child and most of Dan Brown's work, but mainly crime and thriller genres.

My music collection is ridiculously varied but i'm a big fan of a lot of 90s music such as Oasis, Nirvana, Radiohead, Manic Street Preachers and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers to name a few. Catatonia, Blur and The Verve also get a mention. Although, I have to say that my guilty pleasure can be some of the big-hitting 90s pop and dance tunes. (Shameful, I know).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Far too many!

- Being mesmerised by the stunning Aurora Borealis whilst in Finnish Lapland.
- Husky sledding, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, wild camping, reindeer herding and all of the other wonderful things I did in Lapland.
- Los Angeles: One of the best cities i've ever been to, everything is just great. The sunset on Venice Beach is brilliant. And I even met the Power Rangers haha! :P
- Las Vegas: Officially home of the best parties in the world! (And some awesome rollercoasters!)
- Diving the Red Sea.
- Getting hopelessly lost whilst walking around Transylvania and a nice local lady gave us a cup of tea :)
- Chilling out with Sir Patrick Stewart, aka Captain Picard, aka Professor X.
- Watching sunset in the middle of the Sahara Desert.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning about new cultures and customs and I now have friends all over the world.
