I'm a 37 big kid from the UK who's always looking to see more and experience more. I grew up in the country and love the countryside, beaches and nature. I have an older sister and a younger brother.

I've spent most of the last 20 years living and working abroad in many countries. Happily married, my wife and I are presently on our honeymoon - travelling around the world for 12 months.

I love all things sport and music (I play the piano and am learning the guitar).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people like you. Having lived in many different countries, I've been lucky enough to get to know the locals and be accepted into their lives and communities. I truly believe this is the only way to really experience what amazing things the world has to offer. Staying in hotels and doing all the "touristy" things is not us - we like eating with our hands, helping out, sharing stories and getting stuck in!

Music, Movies, and Books

I have a very eclectic taste in music - my favourite thing is discovering new bands.

Forest Gump has to be up there with one of the best..... but can't miss a good action movie either.

I've just finished reading "Scar Tissue", but my favourite book ever was Papillion.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I learnt over many jumps to be completely comfortable jumping out of perfectly good planes! The sky is my playground and nothing else quite compares anymore!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have taught many things over the last 15 years - wakeboarding, kitesurfing, sailing, surfing, snowboarding, skydiving, tennis...... I love sharing my knowledge and seeing others succeed. I can also help with filming and editing (using PC and adobe premiere pro).

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my optimistic view on life, many stories, music, and a fun night out if you fancy it :-)
