About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new friends in Japan and have fun!

ABOUT ME

I want to meet new people everywhere I go and see the heart of the place through the people who live there.

I love meeting new people, cooking, singing, playing music, cycling and drinking with friends

I love music. I sing, play guitar and piano and write songs in my band. If you come to visit the UK you can come to one of my gigs and meet my friends or we could play some music together.

I like to cycle as it lets me explore places and go on little adventures.

I love to Piant - Its probably the most relaxing thing to do in the world so I am always happy to meet an artist!

I love Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and practice it 4-5 times a week at London Bridge and I am convinced it is the best sport in the world. Before I moved to London I lived in Manchester and did Olympic wrestling there - while I was there I got to compete in and won the British Novices Wrestling Championship and I also got to train with the British Olympic team!

PHILOSOPHY

Be open minded, spontaneous and take every opportunity as it comes!

I generally live my life by trying to have as many experiences as I possibly can, be ambitious, chase my dreams, meet great people etc.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am looking to see the world and build a global network of friends! When I visit a place I want to really experience it, integrate, meet people, make friends, eat, drink and have a great time with people like myself!

I live in Shoreditch which is the coolest part of London. I am sometimes doing exams which stops me from hosting people but get in touch anyway as even if you can't stay its always good to meet up and enjoy London - especially shoreditch nightlife!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am relatively inexperienced as a traveler but I really want to change that in a big way! I want to see the world and meet all the wonderful people in it.

I have always wanted to go to Japan - I might try to live there for a year at some point as I just think it is the most amazing country in the world

Interests

I am interested in so many things and I usually have something in common with anyone I meet.

Other than Music and martial arts I love Anime/Manga, having piano lessons and Japanese language lessons

In my spare time in London I meet up for food with friends, do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Cycle, go out drinking in Shoreditch and cook food for my friends.
