CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy the remainder of my career break

ABOUT ME

I am a 29 year old english guy who is currently enjoying the delights of an 18 month career break. I have taken a break from my career to re-establish my positive personality and find out what truly makes me happy.

Having dedicated the last 8 years of my life to pursuing a career in Local Government, I decided to take advantage of the benefits available to me and was granted a career break.

Rather than spend all my time backpacking, I combined my love of cycling with travel and cycled from Vancouver, Canada to San Diego in the US over a 4 month period in late 2010/early 2011.

The cycle was amazing and was easily one of the best experiences of my life. After the ride, I headed to New Mexico for 2 months to live with my girlfriend in her home state.

After the US I headed across the Pacific to New Zealand and have been living, working and enjoying the Rugby World Cup in Auckland. My girlfriend and I are about to embark on a 4 month cycle tour around New Zealand.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am currently inhabiting sofas.

When I return to the UK or if I decide to live in another country on a longer basis, then I will host other couchsurfers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Three in the US.

One in Seattle, Washington State in October 2010.

The second was in Portland, Oregon. During this time I lived with many other couchsurfers from across the globe as the house regularly had up to 6 couchsurfers staying at one time.

The last was in Oakland, Bay Area in California
