About Me

I am a student currently living in Manchester who grew up in London. I'm three years into a four year physics degree and I love living in Manchester. I am a huge sports fan and I support Manchester United, the New England Patriots and the England rugby and cricket teams. I play a lot of rugby for my university and my club and I play some golf too. I am outgoing and enjoy sightseeing. I love music and am always listening to it and looking for new music to listen to. I particularly like electronic music (like house and disco) and rap/hip-hop, but I'm into almost all genres. I'm always looking to have fun and a good laugh as well as meeting new people and sharing new experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I went backpacking last summer with some friends and enjoyed it so much that I decided to do it again this year but this time on my own. I met some people during my travels who recommended couchsurfing to me and told me some amazing stories about and so I decided I would try it for myself!

Interests

Travel. I love visiting new countries, experiencing different cultures and meeting new people. I want to visit as many places as I can while I'm young and don't have a full time job.
Lots of sports! Football, Rugby, Cricket, NFL and Golf
Going to the gym
Science and Technology
Going to music gigs and festivals
Books (particularly A Song of Fire and Ice and Lord of the Rings)
TV shows (Mad Men, The Wire, Breaking Bad, Better call Saul...)
I love food (maybe a bit too much), particularly Asian and European food.
I also love going out and having a good time, whether its just grabbing some food, having a few drinks, watching a game at a bar or partying all night long

Music, Movies, and Books

At the moment I listen to a lot of hip-hop and rap, particularly Kendrick Lamar, J Cole and Jay-Z. I am really into house and disco, such as Bicep, George Fitzgerald, Chic and Jamie xx.
My all time favorite artist though is Jimi Hendrix. I love his music and I can listen to it over and over and he never gets boring!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took a two day boat along the Mekong river and was able to witness the huge untouched jungle along each bank the whole way, as well as seeing how the locals fished using just bamboo and nets and lived on the banks of the river in small shacks. An amzing moment was seeing two small boys surrounded by the rainforest playing football on the sandy bank of the river using a goal made from driftwood!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm always looking to learn little tricks and skills that might come in handy. Maybe I can share a few of my one too

What I Can Share with Hosts

I want to bring a friendly, fun atmosphere with me wherever I go and share ideas, thoughts, jokes and new memorable experiences with new found friends wherever I go. I want to be able to leave my hosts with a positive impression of myself and of British people
