So where do I start? I would like to think I am someone that people wouldn't mind having around. I try not to talk too much and I do usually have good manners.....

Oh, that doesn't sound very positive... I will have another go

I find most things funny and if I am not laughing, I always try to keep smiling. I like a good night out but I also do a quiet meal in. Life is too short to worry about what other people think, I am a believer that everything happens for a reason. Go out and explore the world and meet new people, live life because you don't know what tomorrow will bring.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There are 7 billion people on planet Earth, this is just another way to connect. My best travel experiences have been when I have met local people, so why not Couchsurf? It takes a special sort of character to Couchsurf and I realised I enjoy hanging out with them.

Interests

I love the outdoors, hike to a hidden spot to see some amazing scenery. Setting up a tent and camp for the night. Mountain bike down a hill or kayak to relax. If its anything to do with the outdoors I am in.

I like listening to people (if that is an interest).. and try to learn new skills.

Music, Movies, and Books

Favourite book has to be "Collins World Atlas Complete Edition", only book I have read twice. The amount of times I have flicked through the pages planning possible destinations and routes for my next adventure.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Failed in every food challenge I have ever participated in.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can explain cricket to you over a drink or teach you volleyball.

I am a really bad cook, so maybe you could teach me how to cook a meal (your secret recipe is safe with me). I'm not so bad chopping or washing up.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My travel stories and how miserable people get in Manchester when it rains.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bulgaria, France, Israel, Italy, Jordan, Portugal, Scotland, Spain, Turkey, United States, Wales
