About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Diving around the world, when not in water I'll be on my bike cycling around on the land

ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in south east london in an area called Peckham, some may know it, most wont. It is buzzing with culture and diversity!! I love it to bits and it drives a passion in me to travel and experience everything and anything that the world has to offer. I'm generally fascinated by a lot of things, sounds smells, tastes. you name it... Always up for a laugh and being in positive energy and generally comfortable with anything. I'm always keen to try new things, whether experimenting with ingredients for a particular dish to learning how to keep bees in my back garden and making some kind of home made deluxe

PHILOSOPHY

yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift thats why its called the present.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

When I was 16 my older sister became a member of CS, we hosted a few travelers, all of which were very interesting, friendly and had been hit by the traveling bug, keen to go and see the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I've couch surfed with two different hosts.
The first family I had the honer of staying with opened my eyes like they've never been opened before, in a tiny little settlement outside of Nadi. They shared their culture with me and fed me with the most immense and beautiful local knowledge (the best kind of knowledge one could be gifted with) as well as gorgeous food too :-p
My second experience was in a more built up settlement closer to Nadi. Dianne and Paul helped me organise my trip in Fiji so I could have the best time of my life and I did have the best time of my life: Fiji Time.
I've hosted a few people at home in London through couchsurfing and recommendations through friends not on CS. Always happy to meet new people and give them a help if they're stuck, just want a place to crash or looking for the CS experience.

Interests

Cycling, flying, music, pubs, clubs, the beaches and the sea, basically being in the outdoors most of the time and anywhere to meet, chat, dance, laugh and have a good time with old and new friends.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm very fond of films and music. It does generally apply as to what mood I'm in. I can jam to some roots and reggae, chillax to some liszt the next day and dance to some cat empire the following day.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best has to be Cycling through london but naked, twice!
It doesn't quite top cycling to the south of France and living on the beaches of Fiji and the east coast of Australia.
