Growing up in a diverse and multicultural suburb of West London, I have always been interested in the different cultures on my door step. However, it was an Inter Rail trip around Eastern Europe aged 17 that really sparked my interest in travel. A 5 month journey in South America fuelled this fire, before I temporarily settled down at Warwick University to spend 3 years studying Political Economy. After graduating, I spent a year saving for my next trip - the journey began with trekking in Nepal (only stopped by the earthquake), followed by muay thai training in Northern Thailand - next stop Tokyo on the 11th July!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A) To deepen my understanding of local culture - staying with local people offers greater insight than staying in hostels
B) To save money, hence allowing me to travel for longer!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you wish I would be happy to spend time helping to perfect your English. I am still learning how to master my DSLR, but would love to spend time shooting together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will work around you. I have slept at airports, train stations and on friend's floors before - I don't expect 5* treatment - as long as I am safe, I will be happy. It would be an honour and a priviledge to be welcomed into your home, therefore I would work by your rules. I am both polite and respectful - I am sorry that I don't have any references yet, but I have only just joined!
