ABOUT ME

I have lived in North London for the last 7 years, I am originally from County Durham, North East England.My main passions are music and travelling and every spare penny I have goes on gigs and holidays.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't put things off, do as much as you can, so when the end comes you can smile knowing you made the most of the short time we have here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I hope to host in the near future particularly people from Canada, USA, Korea, Malaysia, Vietnam Japan where I'm hoping to visit in the coming year. Though that list is no way exclusive.I'm planning to travel the world with my girlfriend from October 2012 starting in India then South East Asia and the Americas.Happy just to meet people in each new place to show us around from a locals perspective. Any accommodation is just a bonus.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have had friends from Canada and Hungary couch surf at our flat before and I love showing people around London. I have not couch surfed before but looking forward to the experience and meeting new people.
