I am a British guy living in London working as an economist, but don't let that put you off.

PHILOSOPHY

People are different, get used to it!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd call myself a keen Couchsurfing veteran. I have used it on most of my trips abroad for at least the past five years. I would definitely say that there's no better place to meet interesting (and diverse) people from all over the world.

Interests

Travel (wherever I can get to), food (cooking and eating anything and everything), football (heard of Newcastle United?), reading (Politics, Current Affairs etc), writing, arguing, drinking, partying, chilling, strolling, meeting people. The usual stuff.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

There are too many but I'll list three memorable things off the top of my head. Hauling myself out of bed to catch sunrise over Angkor Wat; sitting for hours staring up at the Taj Mahal; staying up all night on the edge of Hong Kong harbour.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm no Jamie Oliver but I would say that I'm a dab hand in the kitchen. I love to cook, so sit back and I'll rustle something up for you. Besides the cooking, I'm happy to adapt to my host. I know how tough it can be to find time to help out your guests so if you need me to stay out of your way I'll do it, but if you want to stay up all night drinking and chatting then all the better!
