Hi! I'm a friendly, easy going human from the North-west of England. I live with my wife and 2 year old son. I work for Veganuary and so naturally love all things plant-based and I'm passionate about the environment. I love to write fiction, create music and I enjoy creativity in its many forms. I like to climb, read, hike, run, cycle and play the odd video game. My board game collection is also considerable, and I'm always up for a game with friends or strangers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The community aspect of Couchsurfing is wonderful. I love meeting new people and discovering new places; Couchsurfing combines both perfectly. I've not been on in a while, but some of my favourite travel experiences have been through this website.

Becoming a father. Cliché, but amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in anyone who has a passion for something, whatever that may be. I love to learn about people and the things they love, and I will gladly share my experiences.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will happily share my time and engage in conversation. There's also my brew making skills, and I'm happy to share my experience in animation, art and music. I played guitar with the 8 year old son of the last host I stayed with, which was lovely (and hilarious).
