I am 23, I currently live in Glasgow, Scotland. I love travelling, reading, sports, beer (I love beer actually), warm weather, salty sticks and lentils.

I can survive on very little sleep and either starve or overeat.

I am calm and more on the quiet side, I prefer bars/house parties to clubs, I like being able to have a meaningful conversation with someone decent. I am outgoing and make friends easily.

I like exploring new places and learning about new cultures, which is probably quite cliché but I am genuine here.

As you can tell, I am shit at describing myself but I have more than two (!) friends so I like to think I am relatively decent.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people; actually experiencing a place as opposed to just visiting and seeing it; hopefully establishing lasting friendships.

Interests

I like music, art, sports, history. I used to play in a metal band during my high school years but I have not played in years so I am quite bad at it now - do not ask me to play, I beg. I love live music and performance arts. Sports-wise, I follow the NBA and European football (will not state my allegiances here for obvious reasons). I love playing sports as well, I used to be part of a basketball team in my adolescent years but have not really played much since.

Travelling is also a joy on the rare occasions that I do get to travel. I am not that well-travelled but I do like to make the most of it when I do get away for a bit.

Music, Movies, and Books

Metal; Psychedelic rock; Jazz; Rockabilly

I like drama movies; love Tarantino's films as well as Kubrick's; absolutely adore Alejandro González Iñárritu's work; don't really have a favourite film but I do love "The Pursuit of Happyness" and most if not all of Iñárritu's films.

I don't have a favourite book although I do love reading - the books I read most recently were "Point Counter Point" by Aldous Huxley, "The Steppenwolf" by Hermann Hesse, and a collection of Jorge Borges's works. I also enjoy books by Milan Kundera, Albert Camus, Steinbeck, Hemingway, Thomas Mann, Aldous Huxley, Alberto Moravia, etc.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once jumped off a moving train. It was quite stupid of me to wait that long and the train was barely moving actually, but I guess that counts...

I also got lost in the canals of Amsterdam on a pedal boat and most went into open sea. We had to call the company we got the boat from for help and directions.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Reasonably funny jokes; my passion for beer; embarrassing stories if they volunteer some as well!
