I am British, male, currently living in Stockholm. I aim to experience everything I can, live with an open mind and learn and take what I can from everything and everyone. To me, the differences of the world are what makes it so interesting and amazing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm really keen to meet interesting people from all over the world. While I'm not able to travel so much at the moment, it's good to keep my enthusiasm for travel satisfied by sharing in other people's adventures.

While I haven't stayed with any couchsurfers yet, I met up with several when travelling in different parts of China. It was great to be shown round the city by locals and I made friends who I still keep in touch with now. I hosted a couple of really great people in my old Hong Kong apartment. I'd love to be able to host people here in Stockholm, but I just have a very small apartment.
