Overview
About Me
Trying to live my life to fullest, which is being aided by seeing as much of the world as I can and meeting all the interesting people that inhabit it
I am a medical student so I do spend a lot of time studying, but I don't want to sould the violin too much as I do really love what I do and I have easily gone on nights out and spoken about medicine most of the evening!
I teach as a part-time job and I feel sharing of knowledge is a fundamental responsibility we all have. I am always happy to share what I know and experiences I have had, just as I am equally keen to learn from others. I am a genuine believer of you can learn something new everyday. Doesn't mean I always do though!
I love a good chat about the world and politics. I think my position or anyone else's doesn't really matter, as long as you have good reasons to back it up
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Hosted once in Rome and surfed a couple of times. But it's mainly going to events and meeting other surfers.
I am here because travel is easily my biggest passion. Loads of people love going away and sharing exotic pictures on their facebook, but I don't want to go abroad to pose and look for things I could easily do at my home. I love the new and the different. Cities and landscapes are beautiful, but people defiantly make the experience. So let me see your place through your eyes for a day and I'll do the same for you
Interests
I do fencing, and I've been very fortunate that I have been able to compete all over the world,however when I'm free I enjoy playing pretty much any other sport.
I also love tv/films and when I actually get some time to myself, box-sets come-out!

Music, Movies, and Books
Music is really just background noise for me. Fun fact I have never to concert
When it comes to books, I spend a lot of time spending medical books, but during the summer holidays I do like to broaden my horizons by reading other non-fiction texts, whether it be about wine, history of China or art
I have wasted many hours on boxsets and as much as I love getting out and about, there are Sundays when all I want to do is stay in my bed and watch Netflix. Brooklyn 99, The Good Place, Peaky Blinders, Breaking Bad and House are some shows that spring to mind
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've had many amazing moments, each special in their own way
Teach, Learn, Share
I happy to share my language with people and if anyone is bored enough I could show you some fencing.
Other than that I just have my experiences
What I Can Share with Hosts
Good company! I like to think I'm a sociable person with a good sense of humour. If we cook, I'm great at helping with the washing up too ;) Seriously I always will share with the cost, preparation and tidying. I make good pasta and baked goods too
