Howdy,

I'm Lee from Northamptonshire in the English Midlands - a place famous for...

Princess Diana (Althorp House)
Formula 1 (Silverstone Circuit)
Dr. Marten's (The famous boots)
Watchmen/V For Vendetta (Alan Moore)
Goth music (the band Bauhaus)

I'm an agreeable introvert, outgoing and super approachable. More interested in learning about others than talking about myself a lot, but I am also quite an open book and tend to bond quickly with similar people.

Travelled a bit which has taught me I don't need many things in life to be content and that surrounding yourself with good people is most important.

I love small groups of people - sharing stories, food, and games.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Moreso to connect with new people than to surf. Locals and travellers alike.

Interests

I love the water. Cold water immersion in the winter and paddleboarding in the summer.

I enjoy climbing and climbed for a couple of years. I love it but am super rusty now. Would like to get back into it.

I generally love the outdoors. Especially hiking. I enjoy mountains, jungle, coast, countryside. I'm happy anywhere there's a horizon or peak to head towards.

Equally I enjoy finding a spot to relax call home for a while.

A bit of frisbee on the beach with buddies or frisbee golf is fun.

Love riding motorcycle - the freedom to explore.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

30,000km road trip around Australia through every state and territory. Living mainly on the road in an old camper van but also in shared houses, tents and on the ground in the desert under the night sky.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to solve a Rubik's cube.
I can introduce you to cold water swimming.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook some Thai food and Filipino food (not balut!).

Always willing to help. Any tasks or chores that need completing I'm happy to get stuck in.

I'm always positive and smiling. I like to joke around but also enjoy discussing meaningful topics.

Always willing to learn from and share with others.
