CURRENT MISSION

Quit my life in London to go on a year of traveling

ABOUT ME

https://www.instagram.com/dave.skilton

I'm a kind, considerate guy with a strong sense of empathy. Honest and really down-to-earth - I love a deep conversation about anything.

I left my life behind to travel for an unknown amount of time. I want to take beautiful photos, meet new friends and to eat lots of amazing food. I get REALLY excited about food.

PHILOSOPHY

- Treat others with kindness and respect.
- Do something each day to make someone smile.
- Always communicate with an open heart.
- View yourself through the eyes of your loved ones.
- View your city through the eyes of travellers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

In September 2012 I had a trip in the USA where I had a great time with couchsurfers. I now want to repay the community by hosting!

If I can do something to make someone's vacation just a tiny bit better, that makes me super happy!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have couchsurfed with a few hosts on my recent trip to America and arranged a meetup/hangout at which 13 travellers turned up - that was so fun!

I've now hosted three guests and tour-guided a couple of others. Each time was a fantastic experience, and I've learned to love London even more!

Interests

Beautiful views, delicious food, meeting people I feel comfortable with and can talk to for hours.

My general interests are technology, games, music, food and movies. I also love to talk about psychology and philosophy.
