About Me

Hello all! I'm like to consider myself a friendly person and I love meeting new people and travelling myself, so helping out the occasional traveler is always something I've done since finding this site years ago.

I work in an office environment for a company that does websites as one of their senior digital project managers but finish at 6 each day and have my weekends to myself so always up for socialising.

Anyway, if I'm available for your request, we can talk more and plan for your stay. I look forward to hearing from you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm here because I love people, I love adventure and I love both hearing and sharing stories. Of course I love all these things even more when enjoyed with a drink so if you don't mind some cool bars along the way, even better!

I have hosted a LOT of people in the past and stayed with Couchsurfing hosts both in Luxembourg and the Netherlands but I see a lot more of it in my future (oh, and am a semi-regular attendee of the Tuesday night Couchsurfing Event in London).

Interests

I host pub quizzes so I love general and random knowledge. Additionally, I am a bit geeky but more than anything I like to get to know new people over a drink or two.

  • partying
  • drinking
  • pub crawls

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the summer of 2014, I hosted over 60 couchsurfers, many of whom I have travelled to see, hosted a second time or am still friends with!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can offer advice on nearly anything web based as my company specialises in web technology solutions :). In the past, I've also helped teach entry level HTML and CSS to interested people (both friends and couchsurfing guests)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've lived in London for over 10 years now so know a whole range of cool places and sites and tourist information. I'm always happy to help with that. And I've lived all over England so can advise on other places you may want to visit too.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russian Federation, Scotland, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United States, Wales
