Hi! I'm Jack, I'm 20, I've spent a year saving up for the trip of a lifetime. Looking to hang out with just about any cool people who wanna talk about how the world works, books, films, music (alt-rock and electro!), and geeky stuff.

Sadly I can't take in couchsurfers coz I still live at home... but the moment I have my own place at uni, it'll happen!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to learn about the world and the countries I'm passing through. But there's only so much I can learn from museums and tours. So I want to meet up and chat with all sorts of interesting and insightful people who can tell me the interesting, quirky bits about their country and their lives - and their ambitions
