Hi! I'm Oliver from the lush Lake District in the north-west corner of England!

I’d say I’m down-to-earth and easygoing with a fun-loving nature and a lust for adventure—one that’s taken me to over 100 countries so far.

Having worked as a personal trainer, group exercise instructor and swimming teacher, I’m no stranger to meeting new people. These days, I write emails that build trust and bring in sales—ideally from somewhere sunny with good coffee.

I always enjoy good company—whether it’s exploring new places or just kicking back with a couple of beers.

My biggest fear is regret (and anything with more than four legs!)

My dream is to visit every country in the world.

Also, I like pizza 🍕

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

• To inspire others to travel through positive storytelling
• To experience a more authentic way of travelling by connecting with locals
• To gain a deeper understanding of different cultures through real-life interactions

Interessen

I have been a vegetarian my whole life and am passionate about the environment.

I'm a big advocate of fitness and try to take part in as much sport as possible - it's a tonic for the mind and body.

Always willing to try new things. ‘Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.’
