Dear Hosts and Travelers,

I've been living in London for the past 8 years, I first came here for uni and then stayed to work.
I've also been working in hospitality for a time, learning loads and evolving as much as I can.

I'm now Headchef in a restaurant delivering non traditional, seasonal italian food.

I'm a very clean person at home, so I'll be the same at yours. I respect so much the fact that one can open their house to another person.

Meeting people on travels makes life a more memorable journey. Let's bring a good energy and dedicate some time to share our stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friend has been traveling this way and talked to me about it.
When I travel, I usually like to meet people and spend time with them, it's a great way to do that and I'm so excited to see where I'm gonna go and who I'm gonna meet.

Helping each other, making someone feel like they can be comfortable in my presence, when I host or travel, is important to me.

A few words on here is like receiving a letter, I'll always take the time to write a reference to you to show appreciation for your time

Interests

Like most of us here, I love traveling, meeting new people in new environments, it's the best way to explore and discover.
I remember a country, a town, by it's views, but mostly by the people I've met there.

I've studied a creative course and have creative practices, as you can see from my list of interests.

You'll probably see me walking around with an analog camera. I shoot film, and happy to share my travels by showing you pics! 🙂

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Near Toulon, I swam into a natural pool inside a cliff, lit by the sunlight coming from the reflection in the water. It was magical.

Stars in Croatia back when visiting family.
The sky would be white because of all the stars you could see.

Trying to grow food! It's a miracle anything lasts with all these UK born snails. And slugs.

Teach, Learn, Share

For sure there'll be some cooking skills to share, knowing that this is what I do for a living, I learn new dishes and recipes all the time.
Gardening, photography, tennis, climbing, conversations on everything.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Food. I'll cook for you, or we shall cook together. Or if you want me to bring you a little something from London.
My positive energy, dad jokes, and my smile.

And for guests,
Walks, park recommendations, jazz bars.
A cycle around?
Card games.
Bits and bobs.
An air mattress that blows up high.
