CURRENT MISSION

Embarking on a world tour. I am travelling from the UK -> Hong Kong overland. It would be great to stay with locals and see the true essence that these fabulous countries along the way have to offer.

ABOUT ME

From Birmingham, UK. I am a qualified Physiotherpist by day and adventure seeker by night. I try to get out of the city on most weekends be it camping, hiking or clowning around in lakes. Working towads my blue belt in Jiu-jitsu and hoping to carry this forward on my trips in the future.

PHILOSOPHY

so.... personal philosophy i feel i should fill this box with a lot of inspirational quotes by inspirational people and quiet honestly i think i could. But lets just keep it short and sweet....

One life, Live it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am new to this, so i just want to join to community of couch surfers world wide!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None as of yet, but excited for my first!

Interests

Jiu Jitsu, Rock climbing, Going to the gym are a few of my more energetic hobbies.

I try to get outside as much as possible and back packing trips to the hills are always super exciting!! I've been experimenting with photography and making adventure films recently so any tips/advice (or sweet spots to photograph) would be appreciated.

Music, Movies, and Books

I can take solace in a good book... Currently working my way through 'We we're soldiers once, and young'. Im looking to pick up some other reads on my travels as many hours/days on sleeper trains may facilitate this

Movies - just a typical bloke.. action, horror and comedy. Surprisingly my film of all time....'The bodygurad"

I regularly get lost in any genre of music - I do not like to restrict myself by saying the genres i enjoy. I can appreciate all kinds from House to Motown and even a bit of classical. I find spotify is working wonders for my music satisfaction - the 'Discover weekly' playlist provides me with hours of enjoyment.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch-hiked from New York to California and couch surfed along the way! While this website was a great tool i was suprised by the amount of people I met out and about that offered there couch!.Seeing America through the people of America was amazing.... I know it says one thing but i cant decide so another amazing experience was cycling from seattle to california (1200miles). Cycling down the west coast of the USA with the sweet pacific breeze in my hair was something else!
