I'm 21 years old from the tiny town of Gosport, south England. I've been working since I left school aged 16 in several different jobs but I'm currently working as a signwriter / vehicle wrapper. I spend all of my time doing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and going to the gym and when I get home I'm always listening to music and reading. Recently I've realised it's now time for me to travel and see what's out there for me and meet people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm going travelling across the USA starting in August 2017 to train Jiu jitsu and meet amazing people. I've always loved the south of America and I want to visit places such as Arizona, Tennessee, Texas etc. The best way I can think of doing this is via coach surfing so I can visit more places and also so I can meet more people and make more friendships. Hotels don't allow you to meet the locals and see the hidden gems of each place. I think it's so important to meet new people and share knowledge and good times.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived with a host family in Spain when I was 16 years old on my own.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm friendly and love debating with people and talking about the world, so if you want to ask questions about where I'm from or what I'm doing/have done that's great. I can help around the house and I love pets. If you wanna talk about soccer I'm your guy but if you'd rather go and watch a band play at a small bar in town I'm equally as up for it. Looking for new experiences with new people! Always have a book on me and an album worth listening to.
