CURRENT MISSION

adventure and excitment and really wild things

ABOUT ME

Like everyone on couchsurfing I love to travel, to learn about other cultures and meet new people along the way. I think couchsurfing is 1000x better than staying in a hotel, as you can actually meet local people, which is what travelling should be about, and you can host travellers from around the world and learn things without even leaving your home!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't stare up the steps, step up the stairs

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Since moving to Miami I have become very popular haha. I have hosted a few couchsurfers and it was a very positive experience. After being the couchsurfer for so long, I am happy to start hosting travelers and shown them around this city.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed in Philadelphia with Yasser, who was such a great host, and cooked me some really tasty saudi arabian food! Then I couchsurfed with Claudia in Charleston who was really fun and took me out around town and to my first comedy show with her housemate Stuart!

I have hosted Peter, a really friendly and interesting surfer who was on his way to travel in Venezuala. I have also hosted Sandra and Mina, two great girls from Norway who were really fun, considerate and outgoing.

Interests

I like to read, run, watch films, play guitar, have barbecues & cold beers, swim, surf, longboard and so on. I got my cat8 in skydiving, but i havent jumped for a couple of years since i'm a poor student :(

Recently I've started sailing a lot, I took some dingy sailing classes, and I just moved onto a sailboat and made a trip to the Bahamas, which was an incredible experience!
