CURRENT MISSION

Help strengthen community cohesion and help people feel empowered to achieve their goals. I do this through a non-profit I started.

ABOUT ME

I like to do daft things, which in the past have included appearing on a TV gameshow, breaking a Guinness World Record, running marathons, hitchhiking 3000km.

I'm an ambitious chap. I quit (what used to be) my dream job to start my own company, which helps others achieve their goals and brings society together.

I'm smiley, laid-back, sociable, adventurous, respectful, open-minded, a listener and learner. Rather than loud music, expensive drinks and charmless clubs, I prefer really getting to know people and doing something a little different. Love playing games. Vegan.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed and hosted on numerous occasions.

All of my CS experiences without exception have been memorable in a very positive way.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Particularly rock, but also some classical and anything talented. Some of my fave bands are:

A Camp, Manic Street Preachers, The Cardigans, Queens of the Stone Age, Foo Fighters, Muse

Books: Not a voracious reader of books (wish I'd find more time), but I normally plump non-fiction. Love the neuroscience books 'Chimp Paradox' and 'Incognito'). Currently engrossed in the final book of the Millennium trilogy.

Films - Name a famous film and I probably haven't seen it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Volunteering on the island of Lesvos to support refugees. Despite the misery and injustice, it was a strangely uplifting experience because of the inspiring people I was surrounded by and making an impact with. I'll be heading back to Greece in Oct '19.
