I am a student who is currently taking a year off from studying to see and learn from the world around me! I am very keen surfer so I plan on heading to central America and Brazil (well I guess the surf is a bonus). I love being outdoors and exploring new places and learning from people from all over the world. People who have very different opinions or perspectives on certain topics, I believe this makes one a more well rounded person who has more insight and possibly compassion for others or places unknown to them/ myself. I am an easy outgoing guy who enjoys adrenaline - after-all, who doesn't enjoy a good night out (here and there)!?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As a student I don't have much money to spend while travelling and doing all crazy activities as I am on a budget. So I thought what a better way to meet locals and have meaningful interactions while still being able to save some cash! I also think that this platform allows like minded people to meet each other and who knows to end up making friendships across the world, in a time where lots of people are closed off or see the world and people via screens.
