About Me

I'm an architect looking to see the world from a million and one different perspectives. There is so much out there that interests me and I just need to experience it all. I'm a relatively outgoing guy, but can also spend my day wrapped up in a good book. I'm an absolute magical fantasy nut. I just can't help it, reading about the amazing adventures in worlds that seem so much larger than my own just excites me.
Now its time for me to have my own adventures and discover how much larger the world really is!

I'm an amateur rock climber (and love it!) and so would also love to find places to do some climbing, but more importantly, some people with whom to do it! I've got this romantic notion of drawing my way around Europe, taking the time to stop and really study the architecture that jumps out at me. Finding inspiration for my own work on this trip is also incredibly important to me and as such, it is something I will want to spend a fair amount of time on, and ideally meet people with similar interests and knowledge to share!

I also love to cook, and I am generally decent at. Getting to use new and exciting, fresh ingredients is always a little adventure in itself! I can't wait to see and experiment with cooking in the style of wherever I'm staying!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing for so many reasons.
I want to meet people! (Thats kind of obvious) but I want to meet local people. I want to see how people in each place actually live and use their space! As well as see the places they live through their eyes. I want to be shown all the best spots in each city/town to eat, to drink, to dance or even to just sit.

I want to go on adventures. Couchsurfing provides the perfect space for exactly that and I'm giddy with excitement to see what comes and to adventure with you!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - My description of music I like is generally "good music" but at the moment, I'm loving the indie, alternative, rock, indie folk and singer/songwriter scenes. There is some amazing stuff coming out of Iceland at the moment! See Belle Mt, Axel Flovent and so many more.

Books - I'm a Magical Fantasy nut! If its got magic in it, I'll read it. But I'm open to anything! If it's well written or interesting, its got me.

Movies - I'm a lover of super hero movies, and before you even ask, I don't have Marvel/DC preferences :P I also really enjoy a good rom com.
