CURRENT MISSION

I am a keen traveller that’s been locked down in London and Cambridge for the past year and a half. I am now fully vaccinated and free to begin my adventures again!

ABOUT ME

Willing to throw myself into most situations in life whether that's climbing a mountain or learning a new language. I've done a lot of traveling in my life. I've been lucky enough to travel to places like Cuba and New Zealand with my family and as an adult I have traveled independently to Africa, South America and all over Europe.

PHILOSOPHY

Respect for the environment we live in. To constantly try to remain open minded. Learn from all kinds of people - every person knows something that I don't.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

To find like minded people in foreign lands.

Interests

Making up things on the guitar. Staying strong and healthy through sports and exercise; swimming, running, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, snowboarding... Finding things outside of my comfort zone and giving them a go (like Salsa dancing). As well as being very active I enjoy academic pursuits like Mathematics, Physics, Philosophy and Computer Science/Programming. I like to think I am able to hold an interesting conversation on pretty much any topic! I don't really watch TV but instead spend my relaxation time playing/writing music, reading, watching interesting youtube videos (TED talks, vsauce etc...)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro and helped out in an orphanage school in Tanzania

Teach, Learn, Share

Good swimmer - I used to work as a lifeguard.
I can teach advanced physics and mathematics and pitch it at any level. I'd like to think I can get the most disinterested person captivated by some areas of maths and physics!
I could also teach guitar.
