About Me

I'm currently in my 7th year of university, the eternal student, researching how to 3D print medical devices. During my PhD I plan on travelling as much as possible and have thus far been to Hungary, USA, Mexico, Finland, Norway, Croatia, Turkey and Thailand.

I love the great outdoors and am also passionate about cooking. I'm pretty down to earth, very chilled out and always up for exploring new locations, cultures and cuisines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of couch surfing as it truly lets you experience your destination like a local would. It's a great way to make new friends for life and acts as the best incentive to travel to destinations you've always wanted to visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Far too many to list just one, so here's three of my most memorable:
1. Playing rugby on the hallowed turf of Twickenham
2. Jet skiing off the coast of Tunisia
3. Snowmobiling at night across frozen lakes in the Arctic circle.
