26 years old, currently living and working in Bristol having been raised in Staffordshire.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

In 2016, I undertook a 3 month road trip around the USA. I'd never used Couchsurfing before this trip, but the trip was so much better for me using it. Staying with friendly, local people meant getting way more out the trip in terms of socialising, learning about the various places I visited, and ultimately saving money at a time where money was tight. I'm still in contact with some of the people I stayed with years down the line, and I'm so glad I was able to utilise Couchsurfing both for the trip and for the chance to make long-term friendships.

Having benefitted so much from using Couchsurfing, I'd now love to give something back. Hosting is currently not the easiest task due to living in a small 1 bed flat with my girlfriend, but get in touch if you need any assistance and I can at the very least try and recommend a few bits and bobs to do around Bristol.

Interests

My main interests in life are fitness and music. I'm a qualified personal trainer and have played guitar since the age of 11. Other, less serious interests include languages (doing my best to reach an acceptable level of French speaking) and general outdoors activities (aiming to climb Ben Nevis this year).
