About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To try a new thing or meet a new person every day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some great people whilst couchsurfing in Slovenia and Croatia last summer. Also friends and I were put up in the most luxurious apartment imaginable whilst driving along the great ocean road the summer before. I'm keen to return the favour and get a bit more involved in the couch surfing community

Interests

Travelling as much as possible, I love love love to go to music festivals, and also really enjoy the theatre. I'm very energetic, I run a lot, climb mountains when I can, I'm sociable, if I'm not away at the weekends then I'm just hanging out with my friends. I spend too much time on facebook, and too much time at work.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Getting to the top of Monte Rosa (2nd highest peak in the European Alps) after a 5 day trek. Then falling down a crevasse on the walk out.

Seeing Michaelangelo's David. I normally prefer natural wonders to man made ones, but David took my breath away.

Flying a small plane along the Antarctic Peninsula. I have never felt so cool!
