About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life and do as much as I can!

ABOUT ME

I'm a 26 year old guy, who is living and studying for a PhD in Leeds in the United Kingdom. I have lived here for three years and love taking advantage of it's culture and it's unique position so close to the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District.
I'm open minded and love travel, music, sport and interesting stories people have to tell.
I had my first couch surfing experience recently and was initially hesitant, but immediately understood it, and loved it. It was a great way to visit a place and meet the people not just see the buildings and attractions. I enjoyed the sharing of information and the inspiration I got from the people I met... leaving me with many ideas of things to do and music to listen to etc...
Defiantly to be repeated!

PHILOSOPHY

Take in is much as I can I guess. And try to contribute if u have a chance!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

All I have done so far is to stay with a couchsurfure in France, my friend organised it, and I had a great time, and it made me want to get involved.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have stayed in Lille with a very accomodating and friendly guy and his flat mates, and have met a another couch surfer for a drink in Bruge!

I like Music of all kinds from classical to rock to electro and dubstep.
I play the guiter, love football (soccer) play tennis, squash, and like playing poker (for small amounts only!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Maybe clichéd but going to a beach near Bristol with a group of friends. We took guitars and played round a fire. We stayed up until dawn when we saw the most amazing sunrise. It was such a good experience.
Or my 24th birthday we were canoeing in the Swedish lakes, and had been paddling all day in the driving rain and wind. We decided to camp on a tiny island where we managed to find enough dry wood to make a fire. Huddeling around in our rain coats in the rain, passing around a bottle of port, my friends sang happy birthday as we laughed uncontrollably at stupidity of it all! A memory I will never forget!
