I’m American-British, I grew up in London, lived in Shanghai for four years and now in the happy little village of Amsterdam, but I’ve travelled all over the place. I’m incorrigibly curious and hope to host and meet interesting people.

Hopefully we can all do our part to keep the world connected (both the prose and the passion) in the post-covid age

The flat is very central with a private spare room. I can host during the week but I’ll be working from home during the daytime, but happy to hang out in the evenings or on weekends.

I work in trading and in the unlikely event you’re interested then I can talk about that too 🙂

PS It’s started to get very busy with requests here in Amsterdam so while I’ll do my best I don’t always have time to reply to them all. I also probably won’t accept request much more than a week out as I won’t know my schedule for sure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Drank yak butter tea at Everest for the altitude sickness. It didn’t help.

Teach, Learn, Share

Tips on the least bad Dutch food in Amsterdam, I can talk about films and history almost without end (but I can also take a hint…) and I make decent Chinese food
