Overview
About Me
I am a recent Graduate from the University of Nottingham with a Masters degree in Natural Sciences, mastering in Chemistry. I am a very social person and will speak to anyone and talk about almost anything. One thing that drives me is to travel and learn more about the world and other societies.
I play a few sports but am mainly interested in Football, running, cycling and a bit of surfing (but I am not that good at it).
I love to go out with my friends as much as possible which can mean having causal beers with close friends to discuss our lives or to go to clubs/raves and have a good time.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I want to have the chance to be able to meet new open minded people, who also have a passion for travelling. I think that Couchsurfing is therefore one of the best ways to be able to do this.
I also want to learn about new cultures and see new places away from what I usually see, so that I can learn more about the world and be more broad minded.
I have a big interest in how different societies work and what makes them tick by. I thrive off new experiences as I think it is the best way to learn more about myself.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
When I was travelling in the United States I slept in an airport and a bus station (one night each) when I ran out of money before my flight home back to the UK.
Teach, Learn, Share
Philosophy:
It doesn't matter how we start out in this life, because real greatness is what you do with the hand your dealt.
What I Can Share with Hosts
As I said in my 'About Me' section, I can talk about almost anything and get thrilled on new experiences. So if someone hosts me, I will be able to talk with them until they want me to shut up and I would be up to almost anything they would want to do for entertainment in the day and evening.
As I feel I am quite a confident person also, if my hosts needed me to do my own thing that would also be fine, as I would be able to explore the city/town that I am in by myself.
