About Me

For the last year and a half, I have been travelling around the world and meeting great people everywhere.

I am a happy young man, who enjoys the company of other people more then anything, a good conversation makes any day brighter. I love new places and things I haven't scene or tried before. With that said my number 1 pass time is reading. Alice in Wonderland has been my favorite book since I was very little, but I also enjoy George Orwell, Adam Smith and a lot of non-fiction.

Typically as a traveler, I tend to meet friends along the way and we will meet up again later and share story's in exchange for me to have a nice sofa to sleep on. This has worked for most of my travels however, there are city's I don't know and this is where Couchsurfing would be great. :)

If you have any questions, just let me know in a message. :)

Thanks and see you soon.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I had my life set up, a job that most 30 year old would be happy with, good work that made me think but I wasn't happy. If I would of stayed, to this day I would still be un-happy.

This might not strike you or most people as an amazing thing but for me, this was the life changing moment. When I left my job.

Staying would of given me the car, money, house, etc...

But not happiness

So a year and a bit later looking back, this was the most amazing thing I have ever done, that also lead to a long line of other amazing things from seeing the pyramids of Egypt to diving with turtles, running pub crawls to helping a farmer save hes sheep, to views that make you appreciate every breath a bit more to meeting a women who takes my breath away .

It's simple and plain but my greatest achievement, was being happy. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

As I have said before I am young however I have worked on vehicles since I was young and grew up with a dad who would fix everything around the house and I would help. Honestly I preferred helping my mum who taught me how to bake and garden. This is a short list of things I can teach,learn or share.

>Mechanically able
>Due to my mother I have great gardening and cooking abilities
>I am a capable builders labourer
>A full and clean European driving license
>Am a good swimmer and like to keep fit through different activities
>Mathematically inclined, as I love numbers and economics
>I have a basic first aid knowledge
> Again another endless list but if you are looking for something specific just message me and I would be happy to chat.

What I Can Share with Hosts

If a host is willing then we could share story's, books, travel tips (Lot's pf travel tips), GOOD FOOD!!!!, The quickest way to be my best friend is good food, good conversation. What makes good food, is not how it's cooked or the ingredients used for the dish, but the people you are eating with.
