I am a friendly, active and social person. I live near London, but have been travelling for 5 months across Central America and am planning to travel through South America and South East Asia over the next year. I am an open person, who loves travelling and experience new cultures.

The story of how I began travelling was recently featured on Insider Travel - you can read the story of my journey here: http://www.thisisinsider.com/this-introvert-decided-to-travel-the-world-after-seeing-a-picture-on-reddit-2016-7

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm not simply looking for a free place to stay - the reason I want to try Couchsurfing is to experience a different side of travel, not from a tourist point of few, but to experience them differently through sharing my culture and stories with other people and hearing about theirs.

Interests

Meeting new people, traveling around the world, having fun, eating all kinds of food, discovering the local music scene and more.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I love live music, it's one of my biggest passions! I've travelled across borders to experience the local music scenes. My favourite genres are electronic, deep house, funk, hip-hop, soul and jazz.

Movies: The Matrix, Fight Club, The Beach...

Books: I'm currently working my way through the book "The Power of Now", a manual on how to live in the moment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled to Cuba to go to a music festival solo on the other side of the country without knowing the local language, without a ticket and without any place to stay.
