About Me

Travelling and Sport enthusiast ticking another box on the life list Road tripping the USA. Originally from the UK where upon leaving college I took a gap year and travelled the world before heading home to play professional rugby and study Sports and Exercise Science down in Cardiff, Wales. Following that I helped run a big sport and music festival in South England which is also very much one of my passions. On completion of the festival I became a qualified personal trainer and moved to Palma de Majorca to pursue a dream job training the rich and famous on Super Yachts all around the world. In my year and a half on the Yacht I crossed the Atlantic Ocean twice and adventured through both the Caribbean and Mediterranean Seas meeting and working with some of the most amazing people. I drew this to an end to move from the seas to the Mountains to work as a Ski Instructor in Whistler, Canada. This is where I am now and in a few weeks will be meeting my Cousin in Vancouver to start our road trip through the USA, finally!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are looking to experience the American culture how the Americans do. We are so keen to learn more about your awesome country and benefit from any local knowledge possible. We are not looking to check into backpacker hostels and meet other travellers. We are looking for the All-American experience that can only be achieved by meeting fun social Americans who want to show two British lads how things are done. We don't glamour and glitz, we are all about the good times and new experiences.

Interests

Most Sports such as Rugby, Football, Squash, Tennis, Golf, Skiing, Surfing...ETC!
Like to keep active and experience new things. Keen to learn more about the American sports, especially Basketball and American Football. Huge fan of music and festivals, cant live life in silence need some tunes on somewhere. Ultimate FOOD LOVER, eat everything and love trying new food. Dabble in the guitar when I have time.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music taste is generally House but also like Drum and Base and EDM. I play the guitar when I can get my hands on one so also like acoustic. Movies and books change the whole time so whatever I can squeeze in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played Santa Clause to P-Diddy and his family on a Super Yacht in the Caribbean!
