I'm new to Couch Surfing. I'm student in England, I work as a labourer during the week and in a record shop. I study English and American Literature with Creative Writing. I love literature and traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and exploring new places is good for me. The more I can learn and experience with others, the better my traveling is.

Music, Movies, and Books

My music tastes varies but I enjoy Jazz, Country and Blues. Jonny Cash, the Delta Blues and Stark Sands are good examples.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I trekked through Costa Rica for twenty days. I went through country side so hot my shirts were stained with sweat permanently and then into hills so high above sea level that I was shivering. In the jungle my friends had to hack their way through the thicket and many people became ill. My shoes fell apart, I slept in a tent, a church, a rangers station, on the beach and in a sand school full of spiders and scorpions. When we did find water we had to purify it with tablets so it tasted of chemicals. It was hard but there were some beautiful views, from water falls to jungles. I met many friendly locals who gave us food and let us stay in their gardens.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like talking about books. This is important because I also like writing. Not just because good writing in a book can make an impression but because it is universally used. From punctuation to editing, writing is something I'm always interested in sharing. I can learn from other people and get to see the best of them through reading and writing.

Aside from that, I know a few guitar chords and some Jiu Jitsu moves.
