About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live and work in some new countries so I can really experience the culture and the people. Also photograph everywhere I go!

ABOUT ME

Diving diving diving! Plus I like to explore, see new places, meet new people. I'm always up for an adventure and a party! After meeting people my favourite part of travel is trying new food. I love colour and images, so I try to take some beautiful photos of everywhere I go!

PHILOSOPHY

Everyday there's a new adventure just waiting to happen, so please wake me up and remind me so I don't waste the day!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm up for trying anything! New food, new activities, new adventures; life gets boring if you stay in the same place doing the same things!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I'm new to couch surfing. If I had my own place I would happily be a host, but at the moment I'm of no fixed abode. I really enjoy visiting new places when I have a local host, it's always great to get a little insider knowledge on a place. So I'm keen to meet up with anyone who is willing to show or tell me about their home city, and who can tell me where is good to eat!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went kayaking in the middle of a tropical thunder storm on a huge lake in Thailand. It might not seem that amazing to some people, but I was the only one there and the atmosphere was just amazing. I was being soaked by the torrential rain as it splashed up on the water around me, the sky way dark and heavy with ominous purples and grays, and the thunder rumbled and echoed round the mountains around me. It felt dangerous, but I felt 100% alive!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love photography and film. I'm an adept photographer and cameraman, I really enjoy helping people to learn about how to take better pictures or video. I'm very technically minded, so I'm often the one fixing friend's laptops, I'm always happy to try and help with this!
