Hello!!! I'm Patrick (or Pat, either works!) and I'm from the US, but I quit my job working in psychiatric rehabilitation several months ago and I've been traveling around Europe and a bit of Africa since. I'll be here in Europe for a couple more months before heading down India and South East Asia for a while and eventually the plan is to settle in Australia for maybe a year with a work holiday visa!

I've met tons of wonderful people while traveling, and I'm always looking to meet more!

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To make some friends and see the world! It's not always easy to meet people traveling solo, so this seems to be a fantastic resource :)

Интересы

I have been playing guitar and bass for probably 12 years. If you play as well I'm always down to jam!! I'm a big fan of the creative arts generally. I love talking about art, music, film, and especially literature. I do a bit of creative writing as well! And I keep an extensive diary of my travels.

I also love the outdoors. Hiking, camping, kayaking, mountain biking, scuba diving etc.

Музыка, кино и книги

I'm a bit of a movie, music, and literature buff. I could talk about any of these all day! I could start listing favorites, but the list would be endless.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

Over the course of a month I drove from Switzerland to Gambia with a friend of mine! From the alps through France and Spain, across the strait of Gibraltar, down through Morocco, through the Sahara desert, along the coast of Senegal, and finishing in a tiny village in Gambia called Keneba, where my friend is doing medical research!

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами
