CURRENT MISSION

To explore New Zealand, top to bottom

ABOUT ME

I'm an 18 year old from a small island on the south coast of England. Recently just finished high school and didn't fancy jumping into another 3/4 years of education at university, thus I took a gap year.

PHILOSOPHY

"It is the experiences, the memories, the great triumphant joy of living to the fullest extent in which real meaning is found..."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Music, Movies, and Books

Explosions in the Sky, Radiohead, The Beatles, City and Colour, Bon Iver, Death Cab For Cutie, Mumford & Sons, Joshua Radin. Alexisonfire. The Rocket Summer. In short, I like a lot of music.

Back To The Future, Gran Torino, Friday Night Lights, The Shawshank Redemption, Superbad, Into The Wild.

I buy a lot of books but always forget to read them which is a shame. I like non-fiction books. Currently reading Into The Wild and can't put it down.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I flew to the other side of the world on my own after finishing school.
Jumping out of a plane at 15,000 feet.

Teach, Learn, Share

I've been told that I make really good cheesecake, so I could teach you how to make a nice cheesecake!

I've always wanted to learn an instrument, but despite having four guitars, I've never got round to it, so I'd love to learn an instrument!
