About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To visit a macadamia producing place

ABOUT ME

Im from England, lived in New Zealand for around 5 years to study, spent a couple of years at home and am in the process of emmigrating to Australia via Central America to finally start work.

PHILOSOPHY

There is lots of interesting things to see, do and learn about and lots of ways that the stuff I have learnt could potentially help people out if used correctly

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Once I finish these travels I will be based in Melboure and will put my couch on the site

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have none, but my friend who I have just met up with loves it. My flatmates used to bring random people to stay and that was a good way to meet really interesting people

Interests

Sport - especially rugby league and tennis (playing)

Music, Movies, and Books

Just finished reading the Bell Jar, before that read the Covenant with Death and before that In Cold Blood by Truman Capote. Last movie went to see was Edge of Love, before that In Search of a Midnight Kiss which was far better. Music like a wide range, a lot of New Zealand stuff having lived there for a while.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped on the Isle of Coll in Scotland, place only has 200 residents. No one locks doors and everyone knows each other. Really nice beaches completely deserted.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love talking about economics (related to politics and development) and sport (could coach tennis).

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Cambodia, China, France, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Myanmar, Netherlands, Portugal, Switzerland, Thailand, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
