From a small place called the Isle of Man, I am currently travelling around Asia and Australia with my girlfriend during a short career break over the Christmas period. As an exercise physiologist I enjoy living a healthy lifestyle with health and fitness being a big part of my life. Having said that, who doesn't love great tasting food and some nice cold beers in good company? I'm always laughing and smiling and it's hard not to feel energised and happy in my company.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience something that hostels and hotels cannot offer. I want to better understand the cultures and see a different way of living than what I'm used to or comfortable with, providing with me life long lessons. It also helps with the backpacker budget.

Interests

Football, but I am a lover of all things sport and fitness. Food, mostly breakfast, burgers, steak, thick milkshakes and cold Asian beers. Chasing the sun along with unforgettable experiences with my girlfriend.

Music, Movies, and Books

More often than not Hip-Hop/Rap, but I enjoy a variety of music. I love music baby!

Anything based on a true story or good action/war films. Comedy's are for those Sunday night blues!

Sports autobiographies, any human anatomy or sports psychology books/journals.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Completed a Masters in Cardiac Physiology and Health, saved a man from drowning in the Californian waves and explored so many wonders throughout Asia, including the Great Wall of China, with my beautiful girlfriend.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always looking to teach others to improve themselves physically for a better quality of life. I intend to one day become fluent in Spanish. I would love to share my travel experiences with everyone I meet but also share the beauty of my small island.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge of travelling and of course the food I've experienced in different places.

Nothing in this life is free and as such you can expect me to help around your home in whatever way; cleaning, cooking, gardening, painting, dog walking or anything you can think of!
