Overview
About Me
Hi,
I am a relaxed Londoner who loves to travel. I greatly enjoy cycling and escaping the hustle of the town. I love picking up new sports, most recently kitesurfing which is brilliant. I go running with a club a couple of times a week, and play football (badly) once a week.
In the evenings I love a good ale and finding new and interesting pubs is a joy. I play cards once a week with a group of friends and am keen on the occasional game of backgammon. I'm in to my music, and do enjoy going out, especially to interesting locations - London has lots of woodlands and warehouses!
If I'm staying in, I rarely watch TV but would prefer to work on coding little apps, fixing my bike or creating something tangible - most recently a wooden cat tunnel for my friends garden.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Places really shine when you have someone local to point you in the right direction. I'm more interested in living life in countries I visit than filling my day with tourist sites and meeting people who can show you their way of life suits me perfectly.
I'm proud of my city, London, and love showing people my favorite parts; the small bars on barge's, the parties in the woodlands, unusual immersive theatre shows, the smaller galleries and some cool museums.
