CURRENT MISSION
Having fun and adventures around Europe this Summer!
ABOUT ME
My favourite things in life are music, film and good food! I enjoy sharing meals with friends, eating out, going to gigs, parties and festivals! I also love getting out into the Countryside, camping and going on adventures. I'm fairly chilled out, love music, collect vinyl and DJ and used to put on club nights/gigs in Nottingham for about 4 years. I've been working as a community development worker for the past four years in Nottingham so I engage with people of all ages and backgrounds on a day to day basis and love this aspect of my job.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I have offered a couch or bed at my house for people to stay many times although it hasn't been recorded through this site as a lot of my housemates in Nottingham were registered as couch surfers and things were organised through their profiles. I have also stayed with a number of people, though this has been arranged through my former housemates too.
