I love reading and learning and understanding and experiencing new things. I like people who laugh and smile. I have a particular caffeine addiction which is either going to add or remove ten years from my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I owe you. I have been the beneficiary of people's hospitality for over a decade. I understand and very much appreciate what the smallest bit of help given means to someone backpacking. I want to be able to give that back.

Selfishly, there is also nothing more refreshing than a long day at work followed by hearing people who have just seen the place where you live with fresh eyes.
