Overview
About Me
From the U.K. originally, currently making Victoria my home. On here as I’ve found great friends through the couch surfing community when i lived in Oxford, and happy to help people coming through. I’ve travelled a lot for myself, for work, with others and to meet new people and see great places. Now back in Canada I realize how little I know about the island, about British Columbia and Washington state, so always looking to explore. I like all kinds of adventures, looking to get more into water sports, and cycle some great distances. Happy to show people who are new here or traveling what I know, and for those that have lived here longer to learn about new places from you. Here’s to making some awesome memories and building an awesome community here in Victoria.
I’lol let others describe me. But I’m a proud weird English guy that likes to stay on the wild side of life.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I’m on here to help build a positive community in Victoria, that embraces a love of travel and being open for new adventures on this beautiful island. And supporting those who come visit us.

Teach, Learn, Share
I’m an evaluation consultant in the international development sector, and a charity worker. I help look at what a charity hopes to achieve in terms of results to reduce poverty/inequality. Happy to chat to people about it if they’re interested. I’d love to learn more about travel, cooking and sports or anything outdoors like climbing/hiking. And music, food.
