Overview
About Me
Hey!
London based boy, travelling for six months in Australia, Asia and South America, with my boyfriend of six years Raffaele Di Meo, who I would be couch surfing with.
Taking some time out of busy working life in London, to explore, meet some like-minded travelling people and maximise on the supposed free-spirited 20's!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To save money whilst travelling but also to gain an insight into how people really live in the places I visit, meet new people and gain tips and advice about what to see, eat and drink from a local!
Interests
Within my job role as an Arts Producer, I producer and facilitate community art projects in arts centre's in London. I have also worked as a hairdresser for ten years prior to this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Volunteering with Thriveseed in Delhi, an organisation which provides education for children living in four slums in the city. An incredible experience that gave us both an insight into the issues and different ways of living that children and families experience in a developing country. Definitely plan to volunteer again in the future whilst travelling and also when I'm back in the UK.
Teach, Learn, Share
From meeting fellow travellers and being very envious of people who can speak several languages, I plan to start learning Italian when I return to to UK.
What I Can Share with Hosts
A relaxed attitude and easily adaptable. Very happy to have an interesting conversation with new people but equally happy to chill out. Very clean and respectful of the places I stay in.
Me and Raffaele are also very eager to explore the places we go and visit, so will be out and about most days and some evenings. If you want to join us and show us around, then please be our guest!
