About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've been living in the UK for the past 7 years and have now decided to move to Faro (Portugal) to do a masters degree in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation.

ABOUT ME

I see myself as an open, easy going, friendly individual. I love travelling and meeting new and interesting people along the way. I haven't been very active on the couchsurfing front in recent years but I'm keen to change that.

I'm a very active person and enjoy being out in the countryside going climbing, hiking, diving and all the good things nature provides us with. Next one on the list is getting stuck into surfing which has been an urge for quite a while now. Moving to Faro in September will help with that I'm sure.

Apart from that I enjoy a drink with friends, music gigs, city breaks and the lot.

If you'd like to know more about me just give me a shout and I'm happy to have a chat.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The only way to really explore and experience different countries and cultures is to meet and interact with the people who live there. I'm not keen on a package holiday and so far my best travel experiences have been due to the lovely people I met on the way. Couchsurfing is an easy way to get in touch with like-minded people and experience a place in a way which wouldn't be possible without it.
