Hey! I don't like to talk about myself endlessly, so I'll keep it short and sweet. Right now, I'm a backpacking 'entrepreneur' of sorts: roaming the world whilst getting my start up idea off the ground.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I don't like to be a tourist. I know, I still am one, technically... but I much prefer to get amongst the local community and live in it, rather than observe it.

Interests

I'm a big fitness fanatic.
I have a bit of an obsession with nice cars.
I'm a political activist, with a liberal ethos. I also like to keep up to date, learn about the world and follow the news regularly.
Trying new food and having social evenings.
Films and music, of course.

• politics
• cars
• socializing
• electronic music
• hip-hop music
• economics
• language exchange
• budget travel
• learning new things
• weightlifting
• health and fitness

Music, Movies, and Books

What's your favourite type of music? I hate this question. Mainly because I hate my answer: everything. But, that aside, I have considerable time for Majestic Casual, A Tribe Called Quest and Bombay Bicycle Club.
Movies...tough one, but the best film I've seen in the last few years is Selma. Again, I'll watch almost anything if it's good.
Books. One that changed my life: How to Win Friends and Influence People. One that enhanced my trip: The Beach (generic, I know). One that opened my eyes: The Beauty of Humanity Movement.

What I Can Share with Hosts

English culture & language, career & business, cultured conversation (or trash conversation, I love both), technical help (I'm a bit of a geek) and a cool(ish) person to hang out with.
