Hi, I'm Olly, I'm an enthusiastic and relaxed young adult wishing to explore the world and meet different and crazy people! I love adventuring, having fun, music, travelling, cold showers, swimming and all things unusual! I am open to new experiences and I enjoy learning new things and breaking free of my comfort zone.

This year (2015) I have decided to take a year off from study and go on a gap year around Europe, its my first time travelling but I hope this will be the first of many travels. We left in march and are hoping to be exploring Europe until November!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to use Couchsurfing as a way of exploring places from the perspective of those lovely people that extend their hospitality. I haven't been traveling for long so I hope to learn a bit about travelling and the couchsurfing community from people who have travelled further and wider than myself!

When I return home I hope to arrange my downstairs rumpus room to host couchsurfers and return the hospitality i get on my travels
