Born London, but travel a lot, and enjoy meeting others. Everyone has a new story to tell. I look at the world through a different lens to many folk. I'm not a big drinker - do socially, but probably happier with a cuppa, and a chat with someone new.

I work in IT with software design and application support - but am often travelling around the world meeting clients or running demos. Or was till the Apocalypse!

I'm in Sweden... and wondering if I should stay. So lovely here!

I enjoy a game of chess or backgammon... got a board? Want to learn how to play?

I'm also a terrible dancer but my self help audio book told me to face my fears... So I'm considering classes. Maybe you have some advice...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've stayed with some lovely people over the years, and learned a lot. I like the serendipitous nature of meeting others outside the somewhat limited friends, family and work colleagues spheres.

I am keen to allow others to share my home, as I am to be enabled to stay a others.

Everyone has something to teach, something to share, something to show. How will you make me smile, or be happier than I already am? Can you cook?

If I visit, I'll start by oiling your hinge on the squeaky door, and help you rearrange the books in your library so they are all in alphabetical order. Or something. Is it working yet?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Devised a project all on my own, and pushed to make it happen, against some odds. Ended up with two separate defence forces implementing the project, together with Red cross and Oxfam - in Bougainville. Sometimes a small voice can move mountains.

Currently at www.neomatrix.world - and working on saving the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can reformat your hard drive, and also teach you how to see fairies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Sense of humor. Ok - I should clarify. A SPECIAL sense of humour.
Quite apart from your arm bone I mean.
