CURRENT MISSION

See. Meet. Taste. Share. Be.

ABOUT ME

I work hard and I play hard. I relish the chance to travel and I respect those who seek to enrich their lives. I have a multi-ethnic background and therefore find myself looking to learn about other cultures and people.

PHILOSOPHY

Carpe Diem! (Seize the Day)
Live Life to the fullest
Be in the Moment

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have for the last couple of years had many guests. One recommended that I join CS so am hoping to meet people who want to stay and see London and also meet others in other countries as I plan to travel soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2011 is my first year of joining, but I have hosted many times before. I prefer to stay with those that like to interact with the host/guest so we can get to know each other, explore the city, share meals etc. I think this adds to a more open and friendly culture, otherwise it is much too formal. Be happy and make yourself at home.

Interests

I like to lead a healthy life as it balances my work and social life. So I train and work out in my spare time. I enjoy reading, watching movies, Art and Theatre, I like socialising and a good night life.

I enjoy reading lots of books. I have book collection to share with my guests.
I am a big film fan. I like action, romance and comedy. I also like a number of US tv shows. Though I do not watch much tv these days
