About Me

CURRENT MISSION

World domination through humour and fun.

ABOUT ME

Hi,
I'm new to this but have met several couch surfers who stayed with my friends and think it seems like a great idea! I like to think I am a relaxed and friendly person and try not to take myself too seriously. I study Medicine at Sheffield University and have one year left of that, but am going to Amsterdam over June/July to do a placement with a GP over there. I'm hoping I might be able to find a kind person to put me up for a few nights while I find my feet and get to know Amsterdam a bit better - I wouldn't want to impose a long stay on someone so just a few nights would be great! I've been once before but only for a few days.

I hope I am a funny person, because I certainly try!

PHILOSOPHY

It tends to change frequently, which I think is healthy way to live. Open-mindedness is one of the most important things and I tend to distrust people who think they have it all worked out. I am certainly not religious but would say I am a seriously sceptical agnostic rather than atheist.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm new to this, but am keen to host, and am currently asking people in Amsterdam for a couch. I love the community already having already had an amusing reply from a potential host!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Cosmos by Carl Sagan, and all of J.D Salinger's books, particularly 'Raise High the Roof Beam carpenters'. Excellent light, quasi-philosophical, interesting writing.

The ancient Inca buildings in Peru, the temples at Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the nevis bunjy jump in NZ (Bloody terrifying).
