About Me

I'm a DJ, techie, cyclist, wannabe pilot and startup founder from England traveling the world to meet new people, share experiences, learn and teach around the world.

If you want to know more just ask! I'm always on email or chat online with work and would love to digitally meet you before you meet in person!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been lucky enough to stay in some amazing places and meet some amazing people traveling for work and play as well as cycle touring in the past 6 years. Couch surfing is a community of people just like me, happy to meet and share lives with other interesting people.

This year I'm launching my DJ live streaming business internationally and I want to share that experience with you.

BOOKS

Day to day I listen to a lot of thoughtful audio books on the world and work. Right now I'm listening to:

...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One of the most amazing thing I've done is cycle solo from Norwich in England to Barcelona in Spain and back over 2 months. It was one of the most mind altering experiences of my life. I met, stayed and ate with new people every day. Got a stupid tan line with my biking shorts, but enjoyed the most amazing natural beauty and human kindness you can imaging.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to tech you to code, start your own business and fly a kite.

I'd love to learn about your experiences and what you'd love about your home town.

What I Can Share with Hosts
