I'm currently living in Gouda in the Netherlands with my girlfriend whilst I study history in Utrecht. I got onto Couch Surfing after embarking on an around 1 year-long adventure across Asia and Australasia and a few other countries too. I started my trip by taking a flight to New Delhi, India, and later flying out to explore southeast Asia, including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, Malaysia, and Singapore. After this, I flew out to Australia just to see the east coast and surf a bunch and then New Zealand where I worked and met my Dutch girlfriend! It's not often nowadays that I can host, but I'm often down to hang, help out or answer questions where I can

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couch surfing to meet cool people and see the world through their eyes!

Interests

The ocean and beach are my favourite places in the world, gym exercise isn't really my thing (you may have guessed from the picture) but I do like to push myself. Cooking is a new interest, I love to try new recipes. Travel (pretty obvious) but I love meeting people and seeing life through another's eyes. My life dream is to be that old guy sitting in a bar who everyone wants to hear stories from, and is so damn interesting that they pass his stories on. I'm writing a journal of every day entires at the moment (to enjoy when I'm 80) and I'm slowly crossing off my bucket list, still got 'be a nude art model, hug an animal bigger than me and grow and killer beard' left to name a few

Music, Movies, and Books

My main interests revolve around music, film and books, original I know! I'm a fan of rock, metal, reggae and basically everything. As for movies I LOVE horror, thrillers and those films that make you question your own reality. And books I love any theme, as long as the writer is gifted, Stephen King is a favourite

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing a mountain barefoot to reach a pagoda in Myanmar, to see the sunrise after leaving at 3am, and hitching a ride home on the back of a truck.

Surviving rush hour in New Delhi

Sitting in a restaurant one minute in Cambodia and the next being whisked away by a few screaming people to appear on a Mexican TV show

Living on a beach for a week or so in Vietnam with just a hammock and some pocket money
