After 15 years at the same job I decided I wanted to travel and live a little. I've been traveling for 6 months in 12 countries; seen amazing things and met wonderful people. It can be a little lonely at times so it would be great to meet up with a local for a drink/coffee and to share stories about their city 🙂

I'm keen on history and reading. I enjoy fitness activities and until a recent injury, I started entering bodybuilding competitions. I'm ready to embark on this new journey of traveling and experiencing other cultures.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was a big fan of the 90s television series, Lonely Planet, which followed intrepid traveller Ian Wright around the globe. Since then, I've always had an interest in seeing and learning about all these amazing places. Of course I'm interested in seeing famous landmarks like The Great Wall, Eiffel Tower and Angkor Wat, but I believe all places, big and small, have a history and story to tell. I'm excited about meeting other people, making new friends and learning about how others live.
