About Me

I'm a programmer, travelling the world while I work. I love meeting new people and exploring cities - walking around and finding hidden gems - street art, book stores and the best coffee in town. I love nature and the beach, and prefer a warmer climate.

I love meeting new people and finding out more about how others live. I like drum and bass, puns, good books and coffee. I'm an ideas person and my brain never stops!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and see a different side of the cities I visit.

Interests

Music, Movies, and Books

Future bass is my current squeeze - on an electronic music bender - listening to a lot of Monstercat (label). I love finding good gigs to dance to. I have always had a love of music though, and have a fondness for indie, alt, jazz and metal.

I'm a game of thrones fan. I like a range of movies from thinky indie flicks like Lars and the Real Girl (just came to mind because I watched it recently) to mindless action flicks (the latest X-men).

Currently I've been enjoying reading about philosophy and psychology. I'm right now reading a book about habits.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Zip-lined 40m up in the air in the trees of Siam Reap in Cambodia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you some programming basics, or help you get started building your own website! I am keen to learn some more Spanish - I learned Spanish in high school but haven't kept it up.
