About Me

I'm currently working as a Business Development Manager in London. Having graduated from university a few years ago, i've been working all over UK and parts of Europe for my work. I have a very peculiar taste in music; Psytrance, DnB, Jungle andTrance (Hard and Euphoric). Other genres generally tend to put me to sleep, so I avoid it at all costs. I'm more of an outdoor person, I enjoy walks through forests/woods and enjoy the country life. Then there's the other "London" side where I also enjoy a good night out in the city and any naughty adventures. At the start of 2015, I am going Amsterdam and wish to see if I can meet some people there for a good time. So far, I have the following planned for 2015; Japan, America, Mexico, Korea, Thailand and Germany.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of my friends who is a regular couch surfer mentioned to me how amazing she finds this. She uses this site and has said she has met the most amazing people and is always keeping in touch with many of them. I currently travel a lot due to work (and I squeeze in the holidays of my own) and I want to meet different people in the cities I visit. Many of the people on this site are always up for fun and I wanted to see whether I would actually meet such people lol

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climb Mount Fuji when I went to Japan in 2013!

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach, share and learn would be somewhat amazing :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

When I begin to provide my house for couchsurfers, i'd be able to offer them a detailed tour of the city (I don't live too far from Central London), amazing food (surprisingly I can cook), comfortable places to sleep, in depth conversations (philosophical talks and discussion) and if they're good, I can teach them how to mix vinyl (I used to be a DJ before I grew up)

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Hong Kong, Japan, Morocco, Spain, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

England
