Hey everyone!

I am Jake, I'm 21 and from England. I love couchsurfing, I found out about it in Thailand and have done it in many different countries. I am generally a laid back guy, and have many passions including travel, nature, cycling, hiking, reading, writing and especially massage. I am a professional Sports Masseur and giving massage is my main interest.

As Bill Hicks said, "it's just a ride"... and I hope to meet you on it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on couchsurfing for a number of reasons.

Firstly, I would much rather spend time with a local showing me around than staying at a hostel. My couchsurfing experiences in the past have shown me how great it is to exchange stories and experiences with people you have just met.

Secondly, I want to practice my massage. I love giving massage. Give me your bodies!!!

Thirdly, it's the cheapest way to travel. I like to be honest!

Interests

As you've probably noticed my main interest is massage. I have many other interests too. I have an intense love of food. I could literally eat all the food in your house (but I won't if you don't want me too).
I love music, everything from Death Metal to 80's disco, trance, reggae... (and a guilty love of Justin Beiber. Oops)
I am gay.
I love walking and cycling and travelling.
I love stories.
I love laughing.
I love cities, villages, everything.
I love parties and festivals!
