Hi, I'm Mike, from Manchester U.K

I am new to couchsurfing but I am not new to travelling. I have been fortunate enough to have travelled a lot in the past 5 years, to just over 50 different countries.

Currently in Adelaide, SA

I love visiting new places, meeting new people and experiencing new cultures. My hobbies include photography, keeping fit and active, being in nature (beaches, mountains, forests).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Having travelled so much in the past few years, I hear about couchsurfing a lot! And I thought now is a good time to set up a profile and see what it is all about. I currently do not own a home at the moment so I cannot host any couchsurfers, but I am hoping to buy a place soon and potentially open up my home to other travellers that come to visit Manchester. At the moment, I can meet up in Manchester for a drink and take people on a walk around the city, and/or give advice to people visiting.
