About Me

Freelance journalist currently travelling (May-July 17) around Europe looking for a good time, a laugh and to meet new people on my travels. Open person who enjoys a chat and some company, but can also do my own thing if necessary. Won't be back home until July, where you're welcome to come and stay providing I have no plans.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

If possible, it's a cheaper way of staying in places and can allow people to maintain relations through mutual generosity. Would also like to try something a little different from hostels if possible.

Interests

I'm an avid sports fan and enjoy playing and watching them. I am a creative mind so I also enjoy journalism and scriptwriting, which all ties in with my outer interests such as film, travel and wrestling.
