About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I've recently moved from UK to US. I've trying to see as much of America as I can while I'm here.

ABOUT ME

Recently left everything behind in the UK to move out to the US for work. Trying to explore and see as much as possible while I'm here. I enjoy having a good time, whether it's having an interesting conversation or flying down a hill on a mountain bike.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to be laid back about everything, except trying to improve myself at the things I enjoy like rugby and my job as a scientist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

First time trying CouchSurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would like to meet a lot of new and interesting people here while I'm in the US. Surfing and hosting seems like a really good way to do this. I'm just starting out couch surfing though and have no experience of doing it.

Hopefully in the future I would like to be able to travel to many different states in the US to see people and experience different ways of living.

Interests

I spend a lot of my free time training and playing rugby with the Cincinnati wolfhounds. I like to play soccer too when I get the chance but that's not so easy here.

I really like how much easier it is to do out door activities here in America. I've done Kayaking for the first time here. I really enjoy mountain biking and when I moved here to America I only brought one suitcase so that I could bring my mountain bike as my second piece of luggage.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a lot of movies. I tend to watch the ones that make you think like arthouse or indie. I do enjoy a good laugh too with films like Crank or the Hangover.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Wrote my PhD thesis - I thought it would never end!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you are interested in cooking Italian food I think I can teach you some recipes you might enjoy. I used to have an Italian girlfriend and she showed me a few things.

Countries I’ve Visited
