About Me

ABOUT ME

I'd say I'm a fairly chilled-out person. I'm open to new things and enjoy good conversations with interesting people. I want to travel and get to know all the weird and wonderful places on this earth and the people who inhabit them.

Right now I'm living in London with my partner. I don't have a couch free but am always happy to meet up with travellers or locals here in London.

PHILOSOPHY

Be grateful for what you have, but don't stop searching for - and trying out - new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to travel and meet new people.

Interests

Perhaps it's a little too obvious to say travelling, but that always comes top of the list. My interests are fairly standard: music, books, a couple of sports (although I'm better at watching than playing!), art..

  • arts
  • books
  • traveling
  • music

Music, Movies, and Books

This could be a long list so I'll just stick to a couple of favourites:

Books - The Dark Tower series by Stephen King; Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom; Sapiens: A Brief History of Human Kind by Yuval Noah Harari; Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

Music - Coheed and Cambria; The Beatles; Death Cab for Cutie; Fatoumata Diawara

Movies - Thirteen; Amores Perros; What We Do In The Shadows; Into The Wild

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been lucky enough to visit some amazing places in Europe, North America and South America.

I was in Canada recently and the whole trip was amazing, but seeing wild bears and moose was a real treat and highlight!
