About Me

I can only take requests 1-10days before I host you, due to the nature of work.

2 great experiences with CS so far. Hosting in London and staying in Italy. London born and bread, love to give people a chance to see London from a Londoners perspective. I currently run a boutique video production company in Mayfair, London. You can check us out here: http://unityandmotion.com . Unity & Motion is like my baby & I devote most of my time to running the business. I LOVE what I do & feel strongly that I'm following my passions. Creating films that have a positive impact on this planet is my overall ambition & I'm working hard to get there. When I'm not creating, I'll be on my bicycle (my other passion in life) or meeting up with friends in & around London. I hear I'm perceived as friendly, comfortable to chat to & definitely know how to have a good time. That's me in a nutshell.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a big one for chatting to people I don't know, as countless times you go on to meet some amazing people through a simple friendly conversation. I love people & I love to find out about new cultures, quirks & different peoples perspectives. CS seems a nice little idea that has amassed to a worldwide phenomenon & I'm keen to see how it works out for me. Include LDN in your request, so I know you read my profile.

Interests

Very open when it comes to things that interest me. Any arts & culture are often inspiring to me, I'm open to most cultural activities. I love cycling. Watch most sports. Music is a requirement through the day & nights, DJ at house parties. Up for anything adventurous. Love film, more Cannes than Oscars. Exploration.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived in Thailand for 4 months. I will never forget my experience on the border with Burma, in the heat of the civil war. Living with young Karen refugees, teaching them english & playing football with them. Incredible memories of a very sad time. The country is heading back in the right direction so not all doom & gloom. Include LDN in your request, so I know you read my profile.
