CURRENT MISSION

This is hard. Trying to maintain my calm while reading the news has been a prominent one lately.

ABOUT ME

I'm never very good at filling these things out, but for now I'll say that I recently graduated in Philosophy from the University of York, and I'm currently in the process of working out what's next. I'm generally a likable kind of person I think, and I'm always very up for meeting new people and seeing new places.

PHILOSOPHY

I think that being a philosophy student has, perversely, made this question near enough impossible for me to answer.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to couch surfing, having been introduced by a friend, but I really like the whole idea. Having seen my friend host people, it just seems like such a wonderful and involved way to experience a new place. Currently, I can't really offer much in return for surfing on peoples couches, as I'm travelling, but when I'm back home in mid November I'll gladly start hosting.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitchhiked to Morocco last Easter. That was pretty great.
