CURRENT MISSION

To meet lots of people and learn about different cultures

ABOUT ME

I'm a very friendly and sociable person and find couchsurfing is a great way of meeting people.
I really like travelling when I get a chance and think that there's nothing quite like it.
When I'm not travelling, I like to keep busy with different hobbies and interests.

PHILOSOPHY

Work to Live not live to work.
Always give people a chance.
Make a joke out of something wherever possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I participate in couchsurfing by hosting, going to meets and sometimes surfing.
I have found that couchsurfing always has a wealth of people who are interesting to talk to and learn new things from.
I have often also found that things happen in couchsurfing that you would never normally expect to happen!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've enjoyed hosting lots of different people and helping out wherever possible. I've been to lots of different meet ups, sometimes where I'm living and sometimes when I'm travelling.
I've been to a few of the big events like Edinburgh Rocks, Newcastle Loony Toons, Czech Surfing and a couchsurfing summer camp in Italy - awesome!
