CURRENT MISSION

A 'mission'? In life? Now that's a bit much for a one line box....

ABOUT ME

Having completed the most fundamentally useless, if ridiculously enjoyable, degree ever invented, I decided to put a specialist knowledge in Viking metalwork to its most obvious use: joining the British Army. Spent two years applying only to be medically discharged five weeks later. At least I got to travel in the mean time!

Currently working in the charity sector in London, and exploring the city as much as I can on weekends... whilst planning my next trip in any spare moment!

PHILOSOPHY

"The only way to get rid of a temptation is to give into it"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have three couches. All of which are pretty unused. Would definitely like to host anyone who wants to visit my neck of the woods. Introducing foreign people to the intricacies, paradoxes and downright oddities of the English character is always amusing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mostly trying to work out how to verify myself when I don't have a credit card... and change my address to London now that I have moved...

Interests

Rugby, Kickboxing, Trekking, Art, and all sorts of adventure sports. Devouring fiction like a maniac, pub crawls, and amazing buildings.

When travelling I look for awe-inspiring scenery, history, and getting out in the middle of nowhere. Beer is a bonus.
