Full-Time World Traveller from London, England

Currently on a long old trip all around north and central America with no end date as of yet.

I've included pictures from my Instagram, feel free to check it out so you can see I'm a real person and not some kind of twisted murderer. Also, please don't kill me.

Let's hang out!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Plainly speaking, I prefer to travel less like a tourist and more like someone who lives in the place I'm visiting. And this is why I love Couchsurfing, because it's like a shortcut to making local friends and allows me to join in my hosts' lives for a bit, or have others join in my life. Let's keep the Couchsurfing spirit alive!

Interests

Life and the way in which it is lived is something that has always fascinated me. Since a young age, I've made it my mission to soak up and share as much culture as possible. It's the adventure of immersion and of learning how others enjoy life that truly gives me the most joy.

I'm motivated by a desire to be happy and to share my happiness with the world. My attitude is that you only get one shot at life, so you'd better live it! What brings me joy, truly, is putting a smile on the faces of those around me.

I live my life according to four pillars:

Trust: What does a person have if they don't have their word? All relationships are built on trust, both personal and professional.

Adventure: I can't settle for living a normal life (believe me, I've tried). I thrive in new environments and I'm eager to try everything at least once.

Loyalty: Friends, family and even strangers are all the same to me, and I'm forever loyal to those that are open to me, familiar or not.

Fun: Laugh, sing, dance, cheer and party like it's nobody's business. If you can't have a little fun, what can you do?

I recently quit my corporate sales job in search of something more. Something real.

What am I searching for you ask?

LIFE!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music wise my taste is very broad, my go to is Hard Rock and Punk, however I also love ABBA, The Bee Gees, Fatboy Slim, Drum and Bass and Techno. Put it this way - if it sounds good, I'll listen to it.

Favourite band ever is The Pogues, favourite album ever is The Black Angels - Passover.

I'm a big reader, currently reading Mythos by Stephen Fry. Always up for a book swap. Favourite books ever are the Noughts and Crosses books by Mallorie Blackman.

Movies, man this is a tough one. I have a broad movie taste also, but top 5 would have to be:
- Interstellar
- Inception
- Big Fish
- Pulp Fiction
- The Big Lebowski

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was once on the run from the Cartel in Mexico. Ask me to tell you this story 😉

Teach, Learn, Share

I have experience across many different fields and I'm open to sharing any and all of them!

I am trying to learn the guitar but they're too bulky to carry around... if you have one I'd love to practice.

- Language: I've always had a passion for words, in particular the English language. I write a blog in my spare time about the adventures I've had while travelling the world and I'm also currently writing a novel. I'd love to practice Spanish, teach you to write creatively or even teach you English!

- Animals: I have been around animals my whole life, notably cats and dogs (who take to me quite naturally) but also sometimes others. I'd love to spend more time with animals.

- 'Handyman' work: Building sheds and playgrounds, fixing and repairing things around the house such as kitchen appliances, bicycles, furniture and more has always been a strong suit of mine. If you need a hand with anything, let me know!

- Sales: I'm an accomplished salesman that has worked for a number of years face-to-face with large technology corporations such as Adobe, Lenovo, Dell and so on. I'm a natural salesman and this has served me well in my (corporate) career. Also very happy to share my knowledge of sales, and can train you to sell anything to anyone 😉

- Communication: An avid public speaker, I have a wealth of experience in speeches, presentations and much more. I'm well spoken and am interested in helping others project themselves through wording, intonation and volume.

- Technology: From an early age I've had an interest in technology. Be it computers, coding, circuit boards or gaming, anything hardware or software grabs my attention. Particularly good with Microsoft Office (excel, word, powerpoint etc) I'm naturally adept with all things technological and thoroughly enjoy interacting with and learning from them.

- Cooking: My grandfather was an excellent cook who taught me everything I know. I have a passion for cooking, be it collaboratively or for others. I've worked extensively in food trucks and food stalls at festivals such as Glastonbury in the UK and boy do I have some stories from that summer! I'd love any kind of food exchange and I'm happy to cook for the duration of my stay.

- Videography: I run a small videography business, creating video content such as highlight reels, promo videos and long form for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer stories from around the world, good home cooked meals and friendship. Whatever you need, whether someone to have a beer with or someone to hang out and watch a movie with, I'm in.
