About Me

- I always try to reply within 24 hours. Usually I'll get back to you within 1-2.

- I can currently only accept requests dated within 0-5 days. This isnt great for your planning, but I'm moving about a lot. Please acknowledge this if you request further than 5 days in advance.

I'm a student at University College London, studying physics and chemistry. If I'm not in lectures or the labs, I'm playing football, running or exploring London, the latter usually late at night. I've found crazy spots like disused tube tunnels, rooftops with insane views and am always keen to share this with people.

I love London, and hence I know it well. I can suggest where to go, what to do and how to get there. If you need suggestions for what to eat then I can suggest anything from cheap (but great) eats all the way up to fine dining.

In the evenings and on weekends I work as a fitness instructor in a number of the London parks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I believe that there is no better way to get to know a place than meet the people living there. Couchsurfing isn't about saving money for me. It's about meeting awesome people and seeing the world from their perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

Films: favourites are 50/50 and Fury. Generally I go for easy watching which means I've seen more chick-flicks than I should have. I watch war films if they look any good, and occasional settle down for something serious. Recently enjoyed Split - weird, intense but very well done.

Books: Callsign Hades, Poirot, Love What Matters

Music: Anything and everything. I think Ludovico Einaudi is amazing, though.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bought a motorbike and drove from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi through the mountains (not super original, but amazing anyway)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to find the north star (in the northern hemisphere), why the sky is blue (but turns pink/orange at sunset) and how to swim. I'm a fitness instructor when I'm not studying, so I can take you for a workout.

I'd love to learn a little to speak more than just English (I'm pretty limited at the moment).

What I Can Share with Hosts

London souvenirs, British banter over a few pints
