CURRENT MISSION

To eat my way across Japan and South Korea.

ABOUT ME

I love films, TV and production, hence why I went into it. I have worked on shows for the BBC for the past 2 years and am taking some time off to do some much needed travel. I am one foot off being classed a midget, I am very loud for such a small being and I have one of the best shite shirt collections in the world.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a few people in both my student flat in America and Glasgow, I would love to host more but we just don't have the space in our flat at the minute. I have been hosted numerous times across America and Iceland.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I couchsurfed in Iceland over the summer which was an amazing experience and showed me that the people you find here can teach you much more than a hotel receptionist. I also stayed with a great guy in Philly who gave us some useful advice and yummy food. I traveled across America during the summer of 2015 and stayed with people through CS in cites like Portland, San Francisco and San Diego. All of these were amazing experiences and made that this trip was possible.

Interests

Films, all films. I also love everything to do with the theatre but in particular writing and directing. I also have a keen interest in journalism whether it be investigative or travel. Music is pretty great as well! I used to be a competitive swimmer so I swim a lot. I love going to galleries but wish I knew more about art, particularly contemporary art.
