CURRENT MISSION

I'm currently travelling around some of the world with a friend from home. Once I get to South America I'd love to make the most of my time by mixing staying in dorms with meeting some locals and staying on their couch!

ABOUT ME

I'm a Geordie from Newcastle upon Tyne in England, and after 5 years at university I decided to work for a while so I could travel to some of the most interesting places in the world to see the sights, make some new friends and party too.

PHILOSOPHY

Its a but of a cliche, but I would always treat people I meet with the same kindness and appreciation as I would hope to achieve myself

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now as I am travelling, I will be looking for somewhere to stay in cities around the world, and any level of participation my host is willing to give, whether they want to show us around, take us out or just let us do our own thing. I won't have much to contribute, though at least I can cook quite well, so would be happy to prepare meals for my host.

In the future, when I return to England and get a hose of my own I would hope to host couchsurfers there

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, hopefully that will change once I arrive in Buenos Aires and sample a bit of local flavour

Interests

Football, I'm a Newcastle United fan and I can't wait to see some football in South America. I appreciate great variety of different kinds of music but rock music most of all. I have attended many festivals in England and would love to attend Rock in Rio in 2011.
