Recently graduated student who really wants to be an explorer.

MY PHILOSOPHY:
From a dear friend we met along the way: C'est la vie. It is cliché but it just makes sense to apply it to any troubles which block the way, you just keep going and make the best of what remains.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet people who live in the places I visit, learn about the place and the culture: from cuisine to tradition to nightlife. Return the hosting favour in the future in the UK, or wherever I end up.

Interests

Hiking, climbing, hockey, ping pong (sports/being outdoors) reading, movies, pool, poker (card games), beer, nature, board games, music, doing stuff ... these are what springs to mind currently but there are more. Not forgetting silly things like chalk rock-face drawing battles, a sport involving catching a small football in a fishing net, wizard fighting with very big sticks, tractor-pitchfork surfing, rotten apple baseball/cricket.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped out in the wilderness in Croatia, could hear what we thought were wild hogs roaming around outside. Made a fence at night to keep the cows out in Austria.

Straying from the path in Plitvice national park, Croatia to discover an untouched path overgrown and so peaceful away from all others, here we were able to freely explore the natural waterfalls and caves - it was beautiful beyond belief, and all to ourselves!

Teach, Learn, Share
