By day I work at a software startup - in my spare time, I help with "Food Not Bombs" in York, a group that takes food that would be wasted by supermarkets/restaurants and uses it to make free, healthy, tasty meals for people in need.
I'm hoping to find some land in a warm country on which to build my own house. I want to create a space where people can stay for free and work on the things that are important to them without worrying about money.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

While I've been travelling, lots of people have been kind enough to help me without any expectation of reward. I want to do the same to others, so they can spread this way of doing things even further.

We have some spare space at our house - send requests to
