About Me

I was born and raised in South England and studied in Manchester, which soon became my new home.

Music is a very strong passion of mine, alongside food, whether it's eating, cooking or simply smelling it. I'm also a bit of a dog fanatic and own two Irish Setters.

I am currently traveling alone around South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and North America. I'm very much excited to visiting all these places which are new to me Along with meeting new interesting people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experiencing it first hand, as well as being told by others on my travels, staying with locals has given a better experience of the places I visited, showing me all the best spots, including some you may not read of on websites or in books.

Interests

Music is a big part of my life. I play trumpet, drums and bass guitar and was previously in a ska-punk band. I also have a vast collection of vinyl records and CDs.

I am also an avid reader and I'm happy I've got back in to reading more novels on my trip.

Other interest involve films, socialising, meeting new people and trying new activities.
