I'm Michael, and I love to travel and meet new people! I'm currently studying for a PhD in oceanography based in Norfolk, UK. In the past, I have lived in Germany (2 years) and France (1 year). I am currently learning French and German, and would love to meet people to practice these languages.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet local people whilst traveling, to coach surf now and again, and to practice French and German.

Interests

I like to run. My biggest accomplishment was to complete the Marathon du Medoc, France; 42 kilometres whilst drinking wine.

I also like to go cycling, and I have recently started painting.
