Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
After getting fed up with modern life I sold everything I owned except my camera and bought a one-way ticket to Africa. Here I am
ABOUT ME
I am male, 28, from sunny England and I am currently travelling around the world as cheaply as is possible and I am very keen to stay away from all temptations such as McDonalds and city centre beer as much as is humanly possible (we all have our weaker moments though). Having travelled for a while now I have come to realise the importance of meeting local people in local places, sometimes hostels and hotels put you in a bit of a buffer, like a 'Green Zone'. Couchsurfers seems to pull you out of that and help you experience cities and cultures far better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Sneak into the Congo without a passport or visa and get out alive, despite the inevitable chase
Teach, Learn, Share
Im a pretty good photographer, I know a lot about world soccer, I can probably value your house or apartment for you and I know a surprising amount about spiders. I would absolutely love to learn how to tie knots and ice skate. Oh I have a hard drive full of about 200 movies and a load of tv shows which I am more than happy to share!
