Overview
About Me
It seems I've managed to go 27 years without doing a road trip through the US, and I'm not sure I can go another. So it's finally time to trade in my cycle to work through the polluted congested roads of south London for the open American freeway. Planning to spend the next month around Texas, New Mexico, Colorado and the Deep South. Would be cool to meet some new people along the way.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Mostly i'm looking to hang out with new people in interesting places. I think it can be difficult to fully unpack a place when you've only got a couple of days to spend there, so it would be wicked if you could show me around.

Teach, Learn, Share
happy to share my knowledge of early 2000s trash tv, and maybe teach you how to questionably play a song or two on the guitar
What I Can Share with Hosts
Some laughs and semi interesting conversations
Happy to pay for a meal if we go for one, or beers if we go for some
