About Me

ABOUT ME

I graduated from university last year, and now work as an engineer in Norfolk. I'm pretty easy-going, and especially when travelling, like to 'take the road less travelled'.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've surfed a couple of times, in Italy, Washington D.C., and the American Mid-West. I also hosted people from India, Greece, Australia, America and more while I was a student. All were amazing experiences, cant wait to do some more surfing soon!

Interests

I like music, and always enjoy hearing new bands and songs, and playing my guitar. I like learning, reading books and watching documentaries. I love the outdoors, especially walking and hiking in the countryside, and getting away from my usual concerns. I have recently started to rock climb a little, and really enjoy it, I'd love to do it more often.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Red Hot Chili Peppers, Radiohead, Jeff Buckley, Jack Johnson, The Black Keys, Manchester Orchestra
Books - Life of Pi, Lord of the Flies, East of Eden
Movies - Motorcycle Diaries, the Bourne Trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, films by the Coen Brothers.

My favourite comedian has to be Louis CK, not only is he hilarious, but his insights are spot-on every time. Close second is Dave Chapelle.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been traveling in the USA a fair bit, and had some really cool moments with some really cool people. I would hate to pick one favourite, but weathering hurricane Irene in new york city was awesome

Teach, Learn, Share

Im not very talented at much, but id be happy to try and teach anything i do know to anyone who wants to learn it. Maybe a bit of guitar.
Id love to learn a foreign language, its a massively impressive and useful talent to be bilingual. If anyone wants to improve their English, send me a message and maybe i'll add you on skype or something, we could exchange language lessons.
