About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To continue to travel and meet fun people and have good times.

ABOUT ME

I have been traveling for over three years and I love it. The best part about travelling is not the places so much but the people. I have met some amazing people in this time. Me well I love telling funny stories and having a laugh, especially over a couple of beers. I'm very easy going but mature enough to be respectful of people and places.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about experience not things, you will always have memories so it best to have some good ones me thinks!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

If couch surfing is as good as it seems it would be great to return the favour by offering couch surfing when I return to England. Many people have helped me out during my travels and I would like to do the same for other travellers some day.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only heard yesterday about couch surfing from another couch surfer, it sounded a great idea so here I am.

Interests

I am really interested in comedy, but aside from that I am a keen Hash House Harrier (running club). I also love listening to other peoples music tastes. In terms of sports I really like snowboarding and playing squash.
