About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living and working in London. My mission is to see as much of the UK and Europe as possible and meet new people from across the world.

ABOUT ME

I'm an easy-going guy who wants to see the world, have some adventures and have fun with interesting people. I'm interested in doing anything I haven't done before! Always up for a new experience.

PHILOSOPHY

Instead of asking yourself 'why?' Ask yourself 'why not?'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want to meet interesting people who want to explore the world and have cool stories to tell. I am very adaptable and love variety in every aspect of my life, so I am always open to new ideas, cultures and stepping out of my comfort zone.

I'm looking for couches to crash on for when I take trips across the UK and Europe, but also happy to meet up with people who would like to get to know a friendly face around London too.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've met some absolutely amazing people through Couchsurfing, and I'm hoping to bring that spirit to more people who want to see beautiful new places and meet cool new people. Don't be shy to send me a message if you're visiting London!

Interests

Depending on my mood and the company, I am happy doing just about anything anywhere with anyone. I love chilling out by a campfire and watching the sunset, hiking up to a peaks to see the sunrise or drink into the early hours partying with my friends.

I love exploring new places and making new friends and memories. I'm always writing, so interesting people, especially with different backgrounds to my own with stories to tell fascinate and inspire me.

When I'm in the city, I love going to different and unique events, grabbing drinks in a buzzing town or touring around historical sites.

Music, Movies, and Books

Spotify is my saviour. Mainly Alternative Rock as a general rule, but favourite bands/artists are from a variety.

Oasis
Coldplay
Alter Bridge
Ed Sheeran
Kendrick Lamar

to name a few...

Movies again are varied-

Shawshank Redemption
Karate Kid
The Godfather
Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy
500 Days of Summer

Books- mainly fantasy

A Song of Ice and Fire
Hunger Games
Harry Potter series
Slaughterhouse Five
The Godfather
Pillars of Earth

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee Jumping, Skydiving, Flying a Stunt Plane and a Canyon Swing all in the space of two days in Queenstown, New Zealand.

I had an adrenaline rush for about a week!

Teach, Learn, Share

If anybody wants to learn to speak better English or is a writer and would like to share their work for criticism, then let me know. I've got a 2.1 in English & Creative Writing and I'm currently writing a fantasy novel, so I can try to help in any way I can- and hopefully you can help me too!

I'm a very open-minded and easy-going person and believe in being friendly to everybody I meet, so I'd also love to learn about new cultures and anything that you're interested in that I don't know a lot about.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a great cook, very tidy and respectful. I'm very social, outgoing and love making new friends, doing new things and learning from locals. I've got a lot of stories to tell and love listening to other people's experiences. I'm adaptable and very easily pleased- I can sleep happy pretty much anywhere with a roof over my head!
