Hi!

I'd say I'm a relaxed and down to earth guy that's easy to get on with. I'm from Yorkshire, England and I'm fairly new to travelling/backpacking but I enjoy a challenge and consider myself quite self-sufficient generally! Despite this I'd be very grateful to anyone that would put me up for a night and will always endeavour to return the gratitude!

A few things about me:
- I have a vegan diet but I'm prepared to be vegetarian on the road if needs must
- I enjoy varying forms of exercise, having done a mixture of running, weight training, calisthenics, gymnastics, cross-fit and swimming for quite a while. I know plenty of workouts so if that's your thing maybe we could do some home exercise!
- I've played Guitar for over 10 years and I'm just starting to sing which is fun so I'd be happy giving a performance or a lesson if you have a Guitar!
- I love an adventure, and I'm willing to try new things, especially in places I've never been to before which currently includes most places so if you've got any recommendations I'd love to hear them!
- I'm fairly opportunistic in a positive way and don't expect a path to be laid out in front of me, but try to maintain goals to keep myself at least a little bit focused. So on that... I'm probably looking for work too if you have any recommendations for that nearby!

I'd love to stay and chat generally so I look forward to potentially meeting you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've heard it's one of the best, if not THE best way to travel and get immersed in different cultures, meet people, make friends and have fun!

Interests

I'm learning songs and composing on the move. While singing is still new to me I'm embracing it!

Keeping up fitness is essential for me even if it's just a small amount of exercise a week dancing!

I like the outdoors so I'd like to go on quite a few hikes and see some great views

• singing
• crossfit
• guitar
• hiking
• camping
• trail running
• swimming
• travel
• disco
• diving
• composing music
• dancing,

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
- To dance to, 70's disco all the way! Earth Wind and Fire, and the rest!
- I have played a lot of Classic/Instrumental Rock
- Soul, Blues, Motown!
- 80's Classics
- Frank Sinatra, Django Reinhardt and Louis Armstrong

Movies:
Marvel Cinematic Universe films. If they were the only films out there I'd probably be alright! But I like certain action films... mainly ones with Keanu Reeves in ;)

Books:
I don't read a lot, but I have read the Lord of the Rings and The Silmarillion, which were all clearly excellent! I like the fantasy adventure genre.
