ABOUT ME

I'm an English gentleman. I hope I'm laid back and good to chat to. I like good conversation and enjoy talking politics.

PHILOSOPHY

I want to be optamistic about life. Sometimes I'm not. I want to be courageous. Sometimes I'm not.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I couchsurfed when I cycled to Istanbul and had the most amazing experience of people and their generosity. My blog is www.pushbikepilgrim.com if you're interested.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The wonderful people between Sheffield and Istanbul were very kind to me. I now host with my flatmate who's also on couchsurfing in my home city of Sheffield.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I saw Amajuba: 'Like Doves We Rise' at the Edinburgh festival. Absolutely amazing. We all left in tears, good tears.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a lot to learn. You'd think I could teach English but my spelling and grammar are woeful. I'm very willing to do a back massage.
