About Me

I am a 22 year old graduate trying to get some more traveling under my belt before going in to the big scary world of work!

I am a huge sports fan and played at number of different sports while i was at university and i love nothing more than trying out new sports.

I love a good pub quiz and even write them as a hobby (boring i know but i promise i do have decent conversation!)

I also love just having a drink and getting to know new people, in this world i believe it's never possible to know too many people

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that anywhere you go in the world you need to experience it through the eyes of a local and that is what CS is all about. Whether it is simply using it to meet up with a local for a drink or being lucky enough to have them you up on their sofa for as few days it all makes the trip even more special.

This will also be the first trip traveling with my girlfriend and i also want to introduce her to the wonders of local knowledge and kindness and the brilliant network that CS is.

Interests

Pretty much any sport e.g. Football, Cricket, Rugby and Handball
Traveling
singer guitarist
I love to cook and did it all the time at uni. The joy i get from seeing someone enjoying my food is just awesome!
I also enjoy a good beer and a pub quiz (very British, i know) and just getting to know new people.

Music, Movies, and Books

The millennium trilogy is definitely my favourite series of books, brilliantly written and kept me on the edge of my seat.
I'm in to a lot of different genres of music with my iPod ranging from Bryan Adams and Mumford and Sons to Professor Green and Example
I am not a big film watcher but my favourite film has to be The Shawshank Redemption

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Certainly bungee jumping was an incredible experience for me and one that i'm keen to repeat. But i also believe that something that seems small to one person can be a huge achievement to someone else.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am learning Spanish and am happy to share whatever knowledge i have with any surfers who would like to learn.
Very much enjoy cooking different foods and would love to share this passion with my hosts

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an incredibly chatty person and love sharing stories and hearing other peoples stories about their travels and just their general life as it will always be different!
I’m are very laid back and happy to fit in to whatever situation my hosts requires me to
