ABOUT ME

I was born in Newcastle, then moved around the UK loads, then to Hong Kong, then Beijing. I really enjoyed living in China as it was a very different culture and people were much friendly there than in England! I returned to Oxford when I was 15, and have been at college (in Oxford) and university (in Manchester) since, now looking for a good job. I like reading interesting books, long walks and conversations about the big questions in life.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to make the world a better place

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently travelling and don't have a couch/place in London, so I guess I'm an 'inactive' couchsurfer host. I'll update this when I get a place again... but please don't send me a couchsurfing request now cus I don't have a couch!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed once, in Bonn while I was there for two weeks at a UN conference about climate change. I stayed with a really cool host who was very kind and gave me loads of nice food and drink, and I am now a couchsurfing convert!

Interests

I like watching and playing football (a Newcastle United fan!), cycling, reading, walking, surfing and skiing. But most of the time I like to relax and chat
