ABOUT ME

I like to think I'm funny, helpful, adventuress, open minded and easy to get along with. I spend a lot time playing guitar, with family, reading, or socialising. I have a lot of time for free-thinkers, philosophers, scientists, astronomers, general leaders, linguists, travellers and musicians.

I have loved travelling over the years, making friends from around the world and sharing great experiences with these people. I enjoy learning about other cultures. This trip starting on 30/12/19 will be my last trip for a while before I start my university course :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going travelling from 08/01/16 and CS is a cheap alternative to Hosteling, should my funds run dry. I'm also confident that I would enjoy the experience of being hosted in a stranger's home. It's an 'out of your comfort zone' kind of experience that I think I'd learn from.

I give myself a lot of time at home to recharge. I have lots of creature comforts and I'm curious to find out -- first hand -- what other people's are, too :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 6 months travelling around Asia, 5 around South America and currently 3 month trip around Central America. Had the time of my life and met beautiful people, most I'm still friends with today.

Teach, Learn, Share

I believe you can learn something from anyone, and that one can be interested in anything.
