I love travelling whenever I get the opportunity to. I enjoy exploring the natural world and seeing animals as well as the historic architecture within cities. I enjoy a drink and a laugh as well as electronic dance music. I also enjoy certain extreme sports when I get the chance.

Working with animals in wildlife and rehabilitation is a huge passion of mine.

My favourite cities in Europe so far are Barcelona, Copenhagen and Amsterdam. My favourite cities in Asia so far are Bangkok and Siem Reap. I also love the wildlife in Uganda and South Africa.

The most friendliest locals I have met were in Thailand, Somaliland and Oman.

You have to be able to laugh in life.

I have Asperger's Syndrome.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To meet new people and have the option of travelling at an affordable price.

I enjoy hearing about people's life experiences as well as nature, history and looking at the architecture of historic buildings. In regards to history The Romans, World War 2 and The British Empire are my favourite.
