I'm a 32 year old from the North East of England.

I'm currently backpacking in Jordan and I'm looking at heading to Israel/Palestine, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

The older I've got the more I've learned to appreciate true conversation, listen rather than talk. You learn more.

I love to share life experiences with people and hopefully together we can make the world a better place, one small step at a time.

I'm a fan of film, photography, poetry, boxing, poker, philosophy, traveling, music, reading, peace & love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Whilst I'm looking for places to stay on a budget to prolong my journey of travel, I think that both parties involved in the 'Couch Surfing' experience can benefit.

I look forward to sharing my life with my host and hopefully get the same in return.

Teach, Learn, Share

We can all learn from one another.

Friendly, funny (dry sense of humour), considerate, appreciative and philosophical approach to life.
