About Me

I've grown up in the streets of London my whole life and because of it have a real love affair with cities. I enjoy nothing more then spending hours walking around cities discovering the nooks and crannies in which people inhabit go about their lives, and then come the night I like to let my hair down and have a good old boogie!

I'm also always up for an adventure, I love to say "yes!" to the proposition of something new and see what unfolds! Experiences are the key to a rich full life!
Come summer time in England I spend my time earning money, then spending it travelling or at festivals!

At university I've also made a shot film and a short visual effects music video. In the past Ive also done acting and nearly decided to become one, however the lifestyle was not the one i liked at the age of 18....maybe one day. However my eventual goal is to be a film director!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I feel that couchsurfing would allow me to me to jump straight in to the culture of the city I'm staying in, helping me to get to the truer rhythm of the place, and let me verge away from the manufactured tourist beat/trap!

Interests

My mane interests revolve around music, film and photography. I also love to cook (especially with a glass of red in hand!), thats what i spend most of my time and money doing back home! The more ive travelled the more fascinated ive become with different cultures and how people express themselves from place to place.

Can't forget cricket, I bloody love that shit

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Made a short film! ...am making another now, Im addicted!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to learn some national/cultural dishes whilst couch serfing, as well as to teach some traditional English ones too!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy comparing how different cultures think and might be able to offer insight to the English way. I'm also always up for a laugh and a joke (especially after a couple of drinks!)
Oh and some english food & music
