I'm a 27 year old traveller, who is liberal and open minded. I have been backpacking around Asia for the last 6 months, and is planning a 6 week trip around West coast and South America. Planning to explore Caliafornia, Nevada, New Oreleans and finally Florida. I graduated from the University of Sussex with a degree in history, with a majority of the course focused on American history and the civil rights. I very interested in all subjects related to the Humanities. Having wanted to visit America for as long as I can remember, I am very keen for this trip to further and develop my fascination the with the states. I really travelling, just about to finish my second stint in Asia. Also have visited many European cities. I use this opportunities to understand about the cultures, the peoples and especially the cuisine of all the places that I have visited. I am a huge foodie, there isn't a food that I don't like or that I'm not willing to try. Looking forward to some western cuisine after 6 months in Asia. Love cooking has to be amongst one of my favourite hobbies, and always open to cook and learn new dishes. As much as I enjoy historical and cultural side of the places, I do enjoy a well earned beer at the end of the day, or two. Also as a rugby and soccer player, I'm also very keen about sports, so would also be up for playing a variety of sporting activities. Looking to meet new people and develop a greater understanding of our American friends.
Also have recently done my openwater SSI openwater course, so would be very interested to speak to divers of all abilities to discus this nascent hobbie of mine.
