Hi! I'm Oliver from the lush Lake District in the north-west corner of England!

I would say I'm down-to-earth and easygoing with a fun-loving nature and a lust for adventure, one that has now taken me to over 100 countries.

Having worked as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor and swimming teacher I am no stranger to meeting new people. I always enjoy good company, especially when it comes to exploring new places, or just kicking back with a couple of beers!

My biggest fear is regret (and anything with more than four legs!)

My dream is to visit every country in the world.

I also like pizza 🍕

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

To inspire people to travel through positive storytelling and experience a whole new way of travelling by meeting locals and gaining a better understanding of their culture.

Intereses

I have been a vegetarian my whole life and am passionate about the environment.

I am a big advocate of fitness and try to take part in as much sport as possible - it's a tonic for the mind and body.

Always willing to try new things. ‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’
