I love to travel and love food. I generally rate places based on the culinary experiences - so far India is in the lead!!
I have done two extensive backpacking trips and lived in Australia and New Zealand on working holiday visas. I now reside back in the UK working as a travel consultant, meaning I now get to do slightly more luxurious trips when I do get away...
I would consider myself to be quite chatty and outgoing so you don’t need to worry about awkward silences...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It is the safest and easiest way to meet a local (that you can 100% trust) which is always the best way to experience a culture properly.
I did a couple of several month trips of the world and decided couch surfing would be a great way to break up the hotels and hostels as well as seeing who is available to hang out in my down time.
I also love to get recommendations for future trips from other travellers

Interests

I have played tennis, hockey and cricket for my region back in the UK. Since moving to New Zealand I also started playing squash and would consider it my favorite sport now. Because of this, when I travel I'm more of a 'do-er' than a 'see-er' - as in I would much rather do activities than stroll around a city looking at things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have some cracking stories - if you are lucky I will show the picture from my tattoo day in the Philippines!!

My couch surfing experiences always depend on what a host wants from me, not what I want from a host. I can easily stay out of your way and be quiet but if you're looking for someone to have a bender with until 6am then I can also be your person!
