关于我
Can usually just accept guests from Thursday to Sunday night. (AWAY FROM 21st MAY to 3rd JUNE)
Passionate about trying new experiences at any given opportunity, I'm often eager to meet new people from different backgrounds to my own.
我为什么加入 Couchsurfing
It's the ideal community. Whether I'm hosting people or staying round random people's houses, through Couchsurfing, I feel I'll meet like minded travellers.
Through my experiences in hitchhiking across Europe, I've found the best way to experience a place is getting to know those living in the country. The desire for an authentic, explorative form of travelling leads me to want to try out Couchsurfing.
CS is clearly more than just a platform for free housing, it's a way to broaden horizons.
兴趣
History- I studied History at Leeds University and recently wrote my dissertation on Scottish nationalism.
Politics- Follow UK & US politics pretty closely & have met quite a few MPs in my time. You'll have to guess in person which party I most closely associate myself with.
Football- Loyal supporter of the benevolent Norwich City FC, proficient FIFA player & always up for a good kick about/ sunday league match.
Cycling- This is just something I've just got into, having started commuting by bicycle for work.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情
2016, August- Visited Israel and crossed into Palestine for a few days.
2015, June:
I've recently overcome my fear of heights, to become a qualified skydiver. To this end, I currently have 31 skydives to my name.
2015, July:
Hitchhiked from Rodez, France, to Marrakech, Morocco. At one point, I inadvertently got a lift from 2 drug dealers, 1 of whom was illegally living in Spain.
教,学,和分享
I can talk extensively about British politics, which might be particularly interesting for you in light of Brexit.
I can teach some of the basic on how to learn skydiving.
