Hi :)

I am Jake, a 24 year old medical student from Bristol, England. I am taking a year off studies to travel North & South America, before returning to England in September.

I have a love for philosophy, travel and jazz.
I enjoy meeting new people & cultures, and discovering just how many wonderful ways there are in which people live.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people & experiencing new cultures.

Couchsurfing is a beautiful way to travel - a wonderful opportunity to meet local people & discover local places.
