About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Study for PhD, grow my podcast (The Bottomless Pit Podcast) and host more couchsurfers :)

ABOUT ME

I like to think that I'm easy going and nice to get along with. I'm a sporty guy (basketball and weightlifting are my main sports) and I will pretty much be up for doing anything active whether it's something I've done before or whether it's something completely new.

PHILOSOPHY

In the words of Rufus from "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure"... Be excellent to each other :D

COUNTRIES VISITED: 33

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
