CURRENT MISSION

Starting to learn French and brushing up on my Spanish.

ABOUT ME

I'm 25 and studied Geography at the university of Leeds but I also did an Erasmus year in Santander Spain which turned out to be a great decision. I've always had a desire to explore the unknown and experience distant places and cultures, would say I'm a fairly down to earth and relaxed person.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm fairly new to couch-surfing, looking to crash in cool places with cool people and offer people the opportunity of a place to stay.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed in Sandefjord Norway and it was great also hosted in santander

Interests

Adventure sports like surfing, sking and hiking, also enjoy playing tennis and kicking a football around with my mates. Enjoy reading and playing the guitar (badly) when I have time, bit of a geek for ancient civilisations and cultures, but above all food has to be a passion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Cotopaxi Volcano in Ecuador is probably at the top of my list, I remember it being a pretty physically gruelling experience although my guide could probably have run to the top without any trouble, the sense of achievement at making the summit was incomparable also the view of the sunrise over the Quito valley was worth every aching muscle.
Volunteering in a primary school in Puerto Lopez in Ecuador was also a great experience, getting to know the kids and teaching them was insightful and unique, although I think when it came to our many football matches they in fact had more to teach me!
