About Me

Erasmus student at Science Po, Paris. Studying for a year and hoping to learn french. Next year I'll go back to England and finish off my degree, but it seems like I'm at the time in my life where I find myself in places far from home.

I like having deep conversations, silly conversations, making inside jokes, finding something you have in common with someone and becoming best friends in like 5 minutes. I believe that people are normally way cooler than places. Locals have the best stories!

Finally have the time and money to travel around Europe.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Big on travelling. Very big on travelling.

Also, why the hell not?

What's not to love about couchsurfing? Let's be realistic, I have had way more fun sleeping on the floor with just a pillow and a jacket to keep me warm but in the company of fun people than in some crazy 5 star hotel. It's nice to pamper yourself sometimes and luxury is nice to look at. But I'm in the business of making good stories, shit that I'll tell my grandchildren and they'll reply 'you've told us that one a3moo' .

Planning a trip around Europe for 2015.

Very grateful for any of those opening up their homes to me as I travel.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:

There's always a time and a place for pretty much every song. I like pretty much most things, I like listening to long mixes on long journey. Soulful, smooth and chill vibes is what I normally gravitate towards I find. Music that makes your grin a little is the best..you know when you get goosebumps and you have to rewind! That's the greatest.

Books:

Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance
The worldly philosophers
To Kill a Mockingbird
Quantum
Q

Movies:

WARRIOR

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good, honest company.

Can sleep on pretty much any surface.
