ABOUT ME
I'm a 24 year old British guy who has been lucky enough to live in the UK, Italy, Belgium, Greece, and the US. I'm insatiably curious and have broad interests: I studied History at undergrad specializing in politics and architecture. I'm a real believer that technology can make our lives better and have been working for the European Commission's tech department for the last few months. Now I'm in SF to explore the sharing economy.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is about learning. I'm looking to be happy and make others happier in the process.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Looking for kind hosts right now, and looking forward to hosting others when I settle in one city.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Dipping my toe into the couchsurfing ocean for the first time, and looking forward to a wonderful experience.
Interests
I love visiting cool buildings, going on mini-roadtrips, heading to the movies, and live music. I'm a keen singer and have enjoyed a cappella and choral stuff for many years; also happy just singing to myself in the shower! I love dinner parties and get completely carried away with the cooking. In general, I love talking to new people and learning from them.
