Hello, I'm Jakob, 27 years old and from England (London).

I love meeting new people and enjoy traveling. I'm based in London, but have spent the last 5 months travelling in New Zealand, Australia and Fiji. Next stop is America (West Coast - from 19 Nov 2016) for 3.5 weeks before returning to the UK, and "real life", for Christmas.

I've met many good friends during my adventures abroad. I'm very laid back, open-minded, and outgoing.

I'm an accountant - please don't hold it against me, we don't all fit the stereotype! ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's always good to save some money, but it's also so much better meeting locals and hearing about local haunts.

Interests

I'm a big sports fan and enjoy watching/playing all different types of sports. But the main sports I follow are Football (soccer) and Rugby.

I've been know to enjoy some salsa dancing.

Music, Movies, and Books

For music, I listen to whatever Spotify recommends. I rely on other cooler friends to make me good playlists .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1) The highest bungee jump in the southern hemisphere (Nevis Bungee - Queenstown, New Zealand - 134m)

2) I've been to a wedding with Kate Winslet (not as a couple, but she also happened to be in attendance) ;-)
