About Me

I joined Couchsurfing in the hope that I could connect with local people and on a deeper level with the countries that I travel to. I've met some of the nicest and most interesting people on my travels through this site and hope I can continue to do so in the future. I'm open-minded, eager for new experiences, friendly and generally an optimistic person. I like to keep active and be outdoors in nature, but also enjoy chilled nights in or exploring new cities. Love to try new food and share a few drinks with interesting people. I am always a respectful guest (super clean and tidy!) and willing to help with any household duties during my stay. I'm interested in learning about people, and would hope that I can offer some of my own experiences and funny stories from my travels in return.

Movies - anything that makes you think

Music - completely depends on the mood, but some of my favourites include Radical Face, Enter Shikari, Pendulum, Hadouken!, The XX, Prodigy, Phantogram, Local Natives, System of a Down
