About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travel the world and meet as many new people as I can

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly, kindhearted person who is easy to get along with. I'm also an honest, hard working and trustworthy individual with an adventurous spirit. I would consider myself an active individual and I enjoy most sports with basketball, tennis and cricket being my favourites. I love water based activities swimming, kayaking, snorkeling etc. but I love anything and everything outdoors

PHILOSOPHY

My philosophy on life is to be good to all people regardless of race, gender, beliefs etc. As long as you're not hurting anyone else do whatever you want in life that makes you happy!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've only had the privilege of travelling and surfing. Met some fantastic people and had some great adventures. Once I'm set up and have a decent base, I'd love to start hosting as well

Interests

Music, travel and making new friends. I also enjoy sport preferably water based but I'll try my hand at anything. I believe that travelling is one of the best ways to learn and meet new people therefore I try to travel as much as possible

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bungee jumping over the top of Nevis River in Queenstown, New Zealand. Riding in the Naked Bikeride through Philadelphia, USA. Hiking through Cinque Terre, Italy

Teach, Learn, Share

My basic understanding of the world and the universe is what I have to offer. I'm also a bit of a fact-storer and I enjoy picking up nuggets of information on all areas of life. I don't consider myself a teacher in any way and I believe that listening to people's wisdom and learning from it is the greatest way to acquire knowledge and a deeper understanding of mankind

What I Can Share with Hosts

Languages are a big passion of mine so I can teach a little bit of English or French or maybe even Romanian if you're feeling adventurous! I also love cooking so maybe some recipes as well. I'm willing to share as much as I know really!
