About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Travelling Central and South America for the first time

ABOUT ME

Hi I'm Tom.

I quit my job last summer and have been travelling in Central and South America since October 2012. I've been having a fantastic time and don't want it to end. Travelling is loads better than working!

PHILOSOPHY

I can't think of anything profound to say here! I'm very easy-going and try not to take life too seriously. I'm always happy to hear other people's perspectives on life and try to learn from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Right now I'm keen to experience coachsurfing as a guest while I'm travelling in South America. When I return home to London I'm keen to start hosting people I have met on my travels, as well as new people from around the world.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't had much experience of coachsurfing - either as a host or a guest. However I have friends who have hosted in London, and through them I met loads of awesome people.

I'm now very keen both to experience coach surfing for myself, as I think its a great way to get to know a city and to make new friends.

Interests

Going out, drinking and general partying;
Sports, especially rugby;
