CURRENT MISSION

To scout the world for the home thats hiding

Currently on a working holiday year in Japan. My favourite country!

ABOUT ME

I'm originally from the fine city of Norwich in the east of England, which has it's own castle, 1000yr old cathedral and beautiful beaches galore! After living and studying at University in Sheffield i moved to south London and am currently working as a freelance Assistant Director/Runner in the film and commercial industry.

I always make sure i take time out to Travel and explore while finding out what i want to do with my life. I'm a very easygoing, positive person who gets on with most people and is always ready to have a laugh. I'm extremely passionate about Film and Filmmaking and want to eventually become a director. I bloody love coffee, Japanese food and Guiness, and can make an awesome curry!

PHILOSOPHY

Work hard not to be ignorant, try not to be lazy and don't let Fear hold you back. Live your dreams, no else is gonna do it for you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I haven't hosted yet but hopefully will soon in London. I've surfed in 8 different countries and met up a few times with the Norwich couchsurfing bunch.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first surfing experience was in Budapest, Hungary. It was so amazing and i felt so welcomed that i have since become addicted! I have surfed in Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, Morocco, Myanmar and have met loads of awesome couch surfers while travelling. It is without a doubt the best way to travel!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I walked the entire length of Sri Lanka without using any transport, just my two feet! It was a really great journey for me, that was both challenging and massively rewarding. I met so many amazingly kind and generous people, and survived the scary Elephant corridors!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to Juggle in 10mins! I can Teach Japanese to a certain level, basic BJJ (been training/rolling around for 3 years), have a ridiculous but useless knowledge of film, and i'm always up for sharing new Curry and Daal recipes!
