About Me

I'm currently living in the UK after a while abroad. I have lived in a few different countries and had my fair share of trips.
I caught the travel bug shortly after my 18th birthday and haven't looked back since.
I would say my main interests include food, music and travel. In no particular order. I'm fascinated by languages and everything that goes along with that.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

**US TRIP 2020**
I'm attempting a thru-hike of the Pacific Crest Trail in 2020, starting May 1st in California!!!
I'm flying into LA April 20th and I'll be doing all my gear buying and trail preparation here before heading south for the border to start. I'm hoping to stay with some lovely locals who will be able to recommend me gear shops such as REI and such. And have a laugh with, meet their friends, cook with, see the local area and chill out before the start of my trek.

I'm on here because it's a pretty sick way to meet people, and places. I'm a fan of going to places for more than a weekend, and being able to see these places through a local's perspective is an awesome way to get to know a country -in my experience anyway.

I'm very easy going, absolutely love cooking, my favorite food is Indian hands down, all day every day. So hanging out with people at their place, cooking, getting to know their friends or just chilling with a drink, is my idea of a good time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite music is impossible question because music is too vast, but off the top of my head i really like folk, icelandic bands, chill electric beats, bollywood, but that's not scratching the surface.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

lived with a village of maasai for a long time in Kenya - which was pretty wild
chased by a hippo once.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning the tin whistle- so far i've got one song from The Hobbit down!

I've taught myself Welsh. It's fairly difficult to master, but utterly beautiful language. I would be happy to teach you some of the amazing folk songs that we sing during the rugby games.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook a mean dhaal. Which is a lentil soup from India. It's delicious, healthy and cheap to make. I'm super keen on cooking so more than happy to do that.
