About Me

Friendly, sociable and always up for an adventure or a laugh, I'm easy to get along with and love a good laugh (and a glass of wine!)

I like to think I'm good at sport but don't play as often as i'd like; hoping this will change soon! I've got an eye for fashion and love a good shopping spree, and can enjoy a good chilled out bar as much as a club.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to travel Europe in the Summer, this September, two guys after a memorable vacation seeing the most that we can and experiencing culture!

We'll be trying to hit all kinds of places from Copenhagen and Berlin to Paris, Prague and who knows! Hoping to meet gracious hosts who would put us up for a couple of nights in return for great company, awesome stories, and two down to earth british guys who are just as happy having a good time out in the city as they are staying in and unwinding, finding friendships along the way.

Interests

Travelling; This year alone I have visited Amsterdam, Berlin, Barcelona (stopping off at Benicassim Festival) and hopefully will have more by the end of the year.

Fitness; Running, the Gym, keeping fit in daily life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music right now; Bon Jovi, Halsey, Dagny, up-and-coming musicians. I like my rock side (You Me At Six, Catfish and the Bottlemen) as much as my guilty pleasures (Britney, need I say more?)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got chased up a mountain by an angry Spanish Vineyard Owner (who coud not speak a word of English) who came after me in his white van. Dodging him in his Vineyard was possibly my scariest experience to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

Grab life where you can is my mantra, I live my life to this saying. Some of the greatest things we experience are unexpected and whilst we feel unprepared, these are the events that define us.

All we're here for is to do the best for ourselves, and the people we meet. Everyone is a stranger to you at one time; who they become to be, is up to you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, can share stories of fascinating adventures, I'm very future and goal-oriented with big dreams and big plans. Encouragement to support your visions and achieve your goals along with advice on how to get there is an always from me.

I enjoy chilling out and watching TV as much as a good drink and dance, and I'm always up for an adventure, no matter how impulsive.

A closed book that opens over time, I believe my genuine personality is one of my attributes. I'm very creative and like to crack (plausibly) good puns.

And I don't snore.
