My name is Will

I grew up in Birmingham in England, then moved to live in Barcelona for about 4 years. I then moved back to England to do a little cycle trip around the world.

I enjoy good photography/cinematography and animals, and education is my professional passion.

I play the guitar and just started learning the piano, I enjoy writing music and also making short comedy films.

My friend and I recently went on a round the world cycling trip which took around 10 months and went through 30 or so countries!

Moved to Jerez in Spain to learn how to be an Air Traffic Controller, now working in Whiteley.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend and I cycled from our home town (Birmingham) in England across Europe and Asia to Japan.

We couchsurfed a lot on our travels with locals from all the countries we visited and all help was very much appreciated.

I’m hoping to repay the kindness showed to us!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

After University I moved to Barcelona in Spain.

I knew no one there, had no job and no where to live. I ended up making a life for myself and stayed for about 4 years.

I would recommend living in Barcelona to anyone, and will certainly move back there in the future.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to solve a Rubik's cube in under 3 minutes. Not that anyone wants to!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m hoping to share stories with people from all over the world, and hopefully some laughs.

Im also very happy to cook as I've learnt some very nice dishes on my travels!
