About Me

I am currently a first year student studying Sustainable Product Design at Falmouth University.

Whilst on the course, we explore a range of different people and designers and how they are influenced by day to day objects, places and experiences. We explore this further by visiting different cultures and countries and get a first hand experience on how they live their lives and to recreate those experiences in our lives so hence the Couchsurfing!

I seek adventure whether that be in the smallest of things close to home or in the big things in other countries (often done spontaneously) but no matter where in the world, taking with me both life experiences and hopefully long lasting relationships with the people I meet along the way

I love seeking out new adventures and to see what the world can offer, meeting new people and having a good laugh is all I need and in hope to return it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To gain new experiences, to meet new people and hopefully build friendly worldwide connections, share in the good times with good people and Couchsurfing seems to tick all the boxes.

Interests

Coming from the South West, I was practically born in the sea so anything that happens on the water (particularly surfing) runs deep through my veins.

My overall goal is to hopefully view most of the world, country by country and to tell stories one day to my kids about the adventures I've been on so they could one day see the world too.

I love playing the guitar as it provides a great stress relief from a day and would be happy to teach people if they wanted or better yet to jam along with others!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music? That's a difficult one, I'm very easy when it comes to music and like all types whether its Rock n Roll to Folk or Classic to EDM, its all good for me!

To name a few: -

Lonely the Brave,
The Killers,
Red Hot Chilli Peppers,
Kodaline,
Muse

and so on..

Anything Disney is always a yes from me as with most sci-fi movies (particularly those that involve space in some way) but like my music, I'm easy with almost anything... but not sing a long musicals... that's a no.

TV SHOWS: Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, LOST & Fringe will forever be the best tv shows out there, completely addicted to them

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Whilst travelling in Tarifa, Spain, we stayed at the Red Bull World Kite Surf champions village and got to hang out with some the world champions on their down time.

Teach, Learn, Share

Good knowledge on technology so can help you with anything the breaks (hopefully....)
My English is... as far as I know... great but I am trying to become fluent in more so the effort is there but I could teach some English if needed

What I Can Share with Hosts

If you play music would love to get some jamming sessions going or if not? then to teach you how!
Experiences of the south west if you've ever considered visiting and stories of my travels in return of your own.
A helping hand with any manual labour tasks that need doing (grew up most of the time outdoors so I'm used to it).
A friendly atmosphere with a keen eye to try new things
