Overview
About Me
I'm a recent graduate, hoping to travel as much as possible before real life (job, responsibilities, rent) kicks in. I want to do and see as much as possible... What I lack in budget, I make up for enthusiasm! I love meeting people from different countries and cultures and learning all about them, preferably over a cold beer or two.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I've always found in the past that I've got to know a country best when I've stayed with people who live there - it's a great way to get to know the place, and see what it's like to live like a local! Hopefully Couchsurfing can give me some more of those experiences.

Music, Movies, and Books
Books: I studied English Literature for my degree, so when it comes to a favourite book, I find it impossible to pick just one! I read pretty much everything... if you read even occasionally, that's a good start :)
Music: old school soul (Sam Cook, Aretha Franklin, Marvin Gaye), a sprinkling of guilty pleasures (ABBA and Rihanna...), a little bit of rap (Kanye, Notorious BIG and Tupac) and a whole heap of rock/pop/folk/alternative stuff (Arctic Monkeys, Joni Mitchell, Arcade Fire, Radiohead, Laura Marling...)
Movies: it's embarrassing how many cult films I haven't seen yet... I definitely need some education in this area!
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Canoed around the fjords of Norway, wild camping on beaches as we went, and learning about personal development and leadership (it's a bit of a long story... but let's just say it was definitely amazing!)
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach you anything you want to know about Shakespeare. Or how to whistle badly.
You can teach me about your culture, country and life.
We can share some drinks, and my many thousands of pictures of my beautiful dog (AKA the love of my life.)
