Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I study French and Arabic with International Relations at Exeter University and after having my Year Abroad in Jordan and Paris I have certainly caught the travelling bug. About two weeks into returning to England I was looking for my next destination! I want to go everywhere, experience everything and meet everyone, but it's going to take a while so I'll start of bit by bit.
ABOUT ME
People tell me that I am the most laid back guy they have ever met and I guess this could be true. I very rarely get stressed or worry about things I just take life as it comes and enjoy every second. I am very open minded and am willing to try everything in life at least once, because hey don't knock it until you've tried it. I love meeting new people, everyone as a story to tell.
I am a student of languages, Arabic and French, and I am currently on my year abroad. I spent last summer in Paris working for PNB Paribas and now I am studying in Amman. Hopefully next summer I will working in France again, but I am not sure what yet.
I like to get involved in lots of different things, have my fingers in many pies. I sing and am in many choirs and am a choral scholar so I also get paid to sing, woop woop! I like drama and theatre a lot and am guilty of taking regular trips to London to revel in the glory of the stage. I am also really in to sport and am on the Rowing team at Exeter and used to be one of those crazy swimmer people who wake up at 5 every morning to swim up and down.
I apologise for all the cheesy cliches throughout this.

PHILOSOPHY
Try and live life to the full. Never miss an opportunity.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
!HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
So far I have only attended events, but I would like to surf and host in the future. So far the places I have been living haven't really been acceptable for people to bunk in, but perhaps in the next one. I move far too regularly.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have never surfed before, but I have met up with surfers before and gone to CS events. I would love to host in the future, but at the moment it isn't really practical, but one day I will give back to the surfing community.
Interests
Pretty much everything you can think of I have been interested in at some point. Except for football, I'm sorry it just never really interested me. Rugby on the other hand. Also my knowledge on cars is seriously lacking. I love reading and travelling and partying and going to the gym and eating out and talking in other languages and more than everything red wine!!

Music, Movies, and Books
Too many to say ... Really, I like so many things we'd be here for years.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I was lucky enough to get the job of Tenor Soloist in the Dozan wa Awtar performance of Handel's Messiah with the Jordanian Philharmonic Orchestra. It truly was the highlight of my Year Abroad and a memory I will cherish forever.
Teach, Learn, Share
I happy to teach learn and share languages. It is my true passion in life along with food and red wine!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm friendly and chatty and always up for meeting new people, so I have that to offer ... my chrisma.
