CURRENT MISSION

Ask me this again in the near future, and just perhaps I'll get back to you on that one!

ABOUT ME

Recent photography graduate from the UK. Love to travel, chill out, spend time outdoors, currently I am particularly interested in European travel. I love socialising and meeting new people. I try to be as outgoing as possible in all aspects of my day-to-day life. I like to think of myself as a friendly and optimistic individual and I have a VERY dry sense of humour. My friends describe me as caring, humorous, positive, intelligent and slightly eccentric.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I enjoy meeting all the couchsurfers and taking part in the CS community, I can also show fellow CSers around Reading and Berkshire.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My prefereed way of travel and find every experience something I'll always remember.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchiking from London to Georgia! It was amazing to see Europe change so much and meet people along the way, such a difference to always flying the English Channel!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a 1st Class BA(Hons) Degree in Photography and would be more than happy to share with fellow CSers anything they wanted to know about the world of photogaphy. I can advise on cameras and technical aspects and also give one-on-one photoshop tutorials which could be very helpful to CSers.

I enjoy having my views on photography percieved and challenged and I love engaging in very deep conversations on photography, covering all aspects of the subject in its true sense. I am also incredibly eager to learn and am constantly finding ways to broaden my understanding and knowledge of the subject.

I'm very interested in developing my language skills and would love to learn from fellow CSers.
