About Me

I'm a 25 year old English/Irish male born and bred in London. I quit my job as a Manufacturing Research Engineer a few years ago, because I realised I didn't want to spend my twenties tied to a desk.

For the last year I was working as a nanny (or Manny)! I've also spent four summers teaching tennis in Maine, USA at a camp.

I love travelling and my favourite thing is meeting new people and connecting with those from different cultures. I also think the best way by far to travel is through meeting locals and seeing things from their perspective - rather than just seeing the touristy things, so Couchsurfing seems to be the perfect place for me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience different perspectives/cultures/lifestyles and to meet and make like minded friends who are travellers/explorers at heart.

Interests

I'm keen to throw myself in the deep end and try just about anything! I love socialising, seeing amazing scenery, sports especially soccer and tennis. I'm a bit of a jack of all, master of none! I also love discussing world issues and politics

Music, Movies, and Books

All music, anything with a good beat. Funk, rhythm and blues, old school hip hop, jazz, grime, garage, pop, house, etc

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- Climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in 2012, one of the most incredible experiences of my life...
- Drove with some friends from Miami to Los Angeles.
- Did the largest bungee jump in South America (140m)!

Teach, Learn, Share

Sharing ideas with new people from different cultures

I can teach you mostly useless stuff like how to juggle or solve a rubix cube! Of course I can help you improve your English too, if it's not already your first language that is!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humour in all its lowest forms; sarcasm, wit, self deprecation. Great deep conversations about anything and everything. A bed to crash in if you come to England.
