Hi,

I'm looking to do Europe, and then the world! On a bike! I hope to tour Italy in the spring but it's back to boring old work for now (yawn).

I live in London when not on the road so please come visit, I'll be happy to host (Jan 2016 onwards) and show you around (when I'm not working). If I'm not able to host you we can still meet up for socialising and showing the best parts of the city.

I'm a vegetarian/pescatarian, but easy going so no worries. I drink alcohol (socially) but am more than happy to not drink if this is an issue. Likewise, if there are particular cultural/religious rules you wish for me to observe then that's cool.

As a host, I have no particular requirements from guests except that they respect the place and personal items. As I work in the week, I'm most free at weekends and evenings.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

To meet new people and see the world.
To make friends on the way and get a local's view of places.
To show new friends around London (and other parts of the UK).
I have hosted people new to me before (as well as friends, obviously) but it was before I joined CS so I'm familiar with hosting.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

I helped establish Liverpool as a Fairtrade city.

Sailing through Prins Cristian Sund, Greenland - It emerged out from a sea mist suddenly, with mountains and glaciers all around, awesome.

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I'm a native English speaker so if people want to practice their English then I'm up for that (or just have a chat, no worries).

Чем я могу поделиться с хостами

I'm a trained chef, so I can cook something nice.
I'm quite good at DIY so can help out with that.
I know London very well! At the weekends and evenings I can show people the best bits. I can even take them to good restaurants/pubs/bars/clubs, etc. and meet my friends if they're up for that.
