Left home cycling across Europe in 2022 and keep daring myself to go that little bit further! No bike now.. just two little legs and a big backpack

Now making my way slowly home after some travelling, a year and a half working in Australia and some more travelling.

Trying to soak up as many beautiful experiences and cultures as low-carbon a way as possible 🙏

Always eager to meet locals and travellers alike.

Born in Yorkshire, north of England.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet locals and travellers on my journey!

Music, Movies, and Books

Love a tonne of bands and pretty into my rap/hip hop too - dabbler in all genres and love being introduced to new stuff (favourites include brockhampton, kendrick lamar, frank ocean, the kooks, red hot chilli peppers, arcade fire)

Top 5 films in no particular order! - the shining, pulp fiction, home alone, the matrix, life of Brian

Slow reader by all accounts but here’s a few of my favourites - 1984, the old man and the sea, why I’m no longer talking to white people about race, extinction rebellion: this is not a drill

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycled England to Istanbul - 5000km

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach - English, architecture, cycling tips, cooking up a storm, drawing

Learn - pretty much anything about you and your culture as well as your language, Spanish, German

Share - a nice chat, a few drinks, food

What I Can Share with Hosts

- Love a good chat about general current affairs and particularly environmental issues
- English language advice
- Basic German and Spanish communication (and numerous apologies for how horrific Brits are at other languages)
- An enthusiasm to wander round and enjoy a city
- Advice on how to build that log cabin you fantasise about (I’ve worked or trained in architecture for the past 7 years)
- I am also happy to give hosts their own space if this is preferred
