About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get to know my new home in Cornwall better

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from Leeds in the north of England and now I live as far south as possible in Falmouth in Cornwall. I fly helicopters for a living and I enjoy travelling, meeting new friends and learning new things. I like adventure and I'm also interested in motorbikes, cycling, martial arts, philosophy, current affairs and lots more! I love talking to all kinds of people, listening to their stories and their opinions on things.

The world is a big place, and i just want to see more of it!

PHILOSOPHY

Always try the things that scare you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Amazing experiences.

Back on the site after a break for a few years!

I started couch surfing when I visited the US with my best mate James. We bought some motorcycles in Boston and travelled down the east coast to Florida, along the South through New Orleans and into Texas, up the Rocky Mountains into Canada and then down the west coast to Los Angeles. We managed to avoid hotels and motels entirely and Couchsurfing introduced us to some of the nicest, funniest, most interesting and generous people I’ve ever met.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you to fly if you can provide the aircraft! Besides that you'll have to make do with my time and friendship...
