CURRENT MISSION

Adventure, Adventure, Adventure!

ABOUT ME

hello! I am 24 and lived just outside of Leicester for most of my upbrnging. I graduated from university in 2010 with a degree in Sound, Lighting and Live Event Technology. I love health, fitness, movies, music, food and most of all Adventure!!
I enjoy getting out and doing fun, new and interesting things.... but also dont mind that lazy day in... One of my favourite past times is to meet new people and experience new culture!

PHILOSOPHY

''Nothing is more damaging to the adventurous spirit within a man (or woman) than a secure future. The very basic core of a mans living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.''

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have spent the summer of 2011 backpacking around Europe. I couchsurfed in various locations along the way including France, Switzerland, Italy, Hungary, Belgium and Germany.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had some amazing experiences surfing. I have spent the afternoon swimming down the river in Bern with my host. I have been invited to barbecues and cocktail parties. I met a community of couch surfers in Prague to watch a music festival on the river! and even met a couple of surfers at a board games night at a bar in Brussels.

Interests

I like to keep fit and healthy, I love to snowboard and have just started rock climbing. I like to spend time in the mountains, to hike and go camping and the views are spectacular. MY new recent hobby (which i have discovered since being out in Australia) is Cycle Touring!
