Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Soak up as many experiences as possible before I have to grow up (I've been told I may have already passed this stage...)
Always up for a great chat and laughs over a drink. I can be pretty flexible with my time during the week so am happy to show around visitors in London.
So far my best experiences in life have always been defined by the people I was with. So whenever I'm visiting a new place I always try and find people to share my experiences with, hence why Couch Surfer is so awesome!
ABOUT ME
After two years in the corporate rat race in London I quite my job and started up my own photography business. After a roller coaster of a 1st and 2nd year I'm still here and now celebrating with some mini travel adventures.
PHILOSOPHY
"A journey is best measured by friends, rather than miles"
"I'd rather regret the things I have done than the things that I haven't"
