CURRENT MISSION

Have as much fun as possible, whilst being mindful of those around me. Not hurt anybody.

ABOUT ME

Fun loving and hat loving! 32 years of age, recently moved to Moscow after 11 years in UK (Blackpool). I enjoy cooking, reading, meeting new people and discover new places. Nothing extraordinary I am afraid, but I do believe that world is an incredible place and I love every single minute here.

I work for a big corporation as a creative director, in my spare time I work with chefs, consulting new cafes and restaurants.

PHILOSOPHY

"we are here on earth to fart around. don't let anybody tell you any different"-Kurt Vonnegut

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love to host people and feed them lovely yummy food! I also enjoy meeting new people through couch-surfing groups.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The best ones are: Will on Ko Tao - friendliest couchsurfer who introduced me to diving :) and group of couchsurfers who met up in London and went to see Gogol Bordello and the other group who went to have an amazing time at Madame Tussauds!

Interests

Music is one the most important ones - it really makes me happy and its one of the best ways for me to conect to other people.

Food is something I can talk about for hours, I trained as a chef, worked in several restaurants and now produce chef shows and help open new restaurants.

Books - are my way of escaping this world, so whenever I have a minute I read.
