About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Been travelling for around 10 years on and off, this time It has been close to 4 years away, I have just left Australia and am now in Canada looking to meet people and have great laughs, see sights of the cities and towns that normally you wouldn't see.
Update: Have left Canada to spend the summer in the UK with family and friends. I am now wanting to backpack around Spain for 10 weeks before leaving for Canada in the new year.

I am thinking to Start in Bilbao and work anti-clockwise around, so Gijon / A Coruña / Seville etc.

ABOUT ME
Laid back, not centre of attention guy. Love moving around and seeing the world. Looking for like minded people. I enjoy the ocean, the moutains and all the rivers in-between.

PHILOSOPHY

Live my life as best as I can, do what I wanna do, trying to do it all

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Brand new to this, looking for couches as don't own a couch currently. Didn't realise couchsurfing was a thing until was mentioned it in Vancouver

I am hoping to spend 10 weeks in Spain and am looking to meet people when i arrive in cities. I will be on a tight budget, with the intention of working for accommodation, and am looking for alternative ways to meet people before I arrive.

Interests

Music, travel, film, longboarding, driving, motorbikes, guitar, drums. I love working, I have had many jobs from Chef, to bartender, landscape gardener to painter and decorator. I have worked on many farms in UK, NZ and Australia and have picked a fair share of fruit on my travels.

Music, Movies, and Books

Watch lots of films, lots. Love Jim Carrey films, especially his older ones.

My favourite music would have to be pretty much everything. I am trying to listen to new music now so I am venturing away from my usual tastes.
I am very fond of Punk, Blues, Rock, Rap, Metal, Jazz, Funk. I like a lot of music, But i also dislike a lot too

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have spent 4 years living in Australia and New Zealand with my best friend and partner Bex. Being over in such a beautiful land for so long was such a special time for me, most weeks I could top the amazing things id done from hiking the Tongariro crossing in Taupo, to diving the great barrier reef, or snow boarding the Southern Alps of NZ to surfing the Caitlins on the south coast, Motorbiking the dirt roads of Magnetic Island to free camping west coast of Australia. If i got my thinking hat on I could spend a while here
