I'm an English guy who's life's ambition is to travel the whole world. I'm super passionate about meeting new people and experiencing different cultures :)
I put living before work and try my best to be a better person, which I think travelling encourages.

I have been vegan for almost two years now, so please don't be offend if I don't try any local dishes that are not plant-based.....I'll eat everything else!
(I say this now so there is no awkwardness later 😂)

I started my latest trip in Mexico city on the 11th October, where I spent almost two months. The next country I passed through was Belize which was a nice change of culture. But now I'm back in Latin America and I've passed through Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and now I'm in Nicaragua.
If you would let me stay I'll be over the moon 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and make my traveling cheaper haha! No I'm joking of course. I think the best way to experience a country and it's culture is through spending time with the people who matter...the locals!
