I'm Tommy!

I'm 24 years old and come from the north of England. I spent some of my childhood growing up in Spain, on the sunny island of Mallorca. I enjoy travelling, meeting new people and experiencing different cultures. I enjoy music, sports, film, philosophy, architecture, sociology and so on!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently studying towards a Master's degree in Urban Design at Newcastle University in the UK. I'm couchsurfing because I think it will be more rewarding than simply staying in a hotel or hostel. I want to meet the people who live and use the cities they live in. Seeing a city through the eyes of an experienced user is more fulfilling than through the eyes of the unknowing tourist (me).
