Pay It Forward

ABOUT ME

I've recently returned from 18 months solo travel around the world and have been to some of the most amazing places in the world and likewise have met some of the best friends I'll ever make.

PHILOSOPHY

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Having taken advantage of several couchsurfing hosts' generosity I now intend to (indirectly) return the favour.

Unforunately my housemates aren't too crazy about having 'strangers sleeping on our sofa', but I'm more than happy to meet up for a coffee, some drinks or a day out on London. I've only lived in the city for about six months, so I'm still exploring myself, really!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did some English dubbing over a Bollywood film while I was in Mumbai...'Hum Tum Aur Ghost' was the film if you want to look it up!

Feeding wild dogs half a frozen zebra

Being one of the 16 people packed into the back of a 9 person vehicle in South Africa. It was a bit of a squeeze!

Burning my fingers in a hot spring in Iceland (having been told not to touch it by the guide because it was scaulding...I obviously didn't believe him)

Dicing with death on a hired scooter in Goa.

Seeing dolphins surfing the waves alongside my friend on his board.

Did a skydive and the world's biggest bungy jump all within 24 hours.

...amongst many others now!
