About Me

I've just made the move to Europe with hope of settling in the Netherlands and finding work. I'm an Industrial designer by trade. I love travelling, meeting new people, food, any type of sport, experiencing new cultures, and food (food gets a double mention because it's so good).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet a few new people whilst I try to settle in to new life in Europe. I don't have a job secured yet so will be travelling around in search of one. Being able to stay with locals will give me a better understanding of the places I'm in.
