About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Learn French and surf as much as physically possible!
ABOUT ME
I have been travelling around Europe trying to see as much as possible, now I am living in Bordeaux to earn some money before travelling from here. I am really into Surfing and Kitesurfing and am planning on travelling to towns and area's where I can get onto the water.
I have worked in the Cycling industry for 2-3 years, In July, while the Tour De France is on I do not sleep much and I am very excited to have the opportunity to go see it while I'm in Europe.
I love to see live music and go out drinking with friends
PHILOSOPHY
Live life to the fullest!
Karma, I'm a massive believer in karma and I think it is a very meaningful way to live your life
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have been surfing couches around Europe for 3 months and now that I live in Bordeaux I have the opportunity to host.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am relatively new to couchsurfing as I have only found out about it since I have arrived in Spain, but from the people I have met in Spain who are couchsurfers, I can see that the people are really nice and very friendly. I will definitely be using this community while I travel around Europe to full engage in each culture and meet new people.

Music, Movies, and Books
I really enjoy funny movies like 'The Hangover' and 'Zombieland' because I love to laugh about stupid things
I am into most types of music and if you can dance to it I'll most likely give it a crack
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
The sun setting over the horizon while sitting on my surfboard, off an island in Papa New Guinea. Watching another set roll in and just saying, "A few more."
Teach, Learn, Share
Coincidences happen for reason, it is the world telling you that this person has something that they need to tell/teach you or that you need to tell/teach them.
So share your knowledge and your skills.
I have no musical skill at all, but I still love to listen to music and share my musical knowledge and library with others.
