About Me

CURRENT MISSION

See it all. Do it all.

ABOUT ME

21 year old just making it up as I go along! I've just graduated from university and about to enter the big wide world of adults.

Love to travel. Love sports. Love goofing around. Love food.

PHILOSOPHY

Take every opportunity to try something new.

Add value to everyone you encounter.

Never stop learning.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Looking to stay on some couches and meet some interesting people while travelling this summer, and will be happy to host some surfers in Manchester when I return.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

New to Couchsurfing, but going to be staying on some couches on my travels in the US this summer.

Interests

I love rugby. I've played since I was 7, and love to watch it too - especially in the pub with a beer. I'm also very into my football and a massive fan of Manchester United.

Away from sports, I like to occassionally binge on a good TV series; go to clubs to see my favourite DJs; visit new places; meet new people; learn how to cook; eat good food; goof around with friends; and dance badly to cheesy music.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Shawshank Redemption, Forrest Gump, Braveheart, Gladiator, JAMES BOND, pretty much anything by Chris Nolan, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.

Music - My tastes range from Pink Floyd to Kanye West to Elton John. I love all kinds of music, so I'll just give you my top 5 favourite ever live music experiences (in no particular order): The Chemical Brothers, Bon Iver, Chase and Status, Michael Buble and the Foo Fighters.

Books: I'm about to start reading 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Other than that I've loved The Hobbit, 'His Dark Materials' trilogy and I grew up on Harry Potter! I've promised myself I will read more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a road trip around Europe (twice actually) - on the way I played roulette in the Grand Casino in Monte Carlo; drank absinthe in Rome with a film maker from Balochistan; visited old Nazi concentration camps in Poland; and played a drinking game with some crazy Austrians involving a log, a hammer and some nails. It was awesome.
