Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Ive done quite a bit of surfing, and hosted in London, over the last 10+ years. Hope to start hosting once I've got settled again

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Lots of surfing round South America, made some great friends through it in Japan.

Interests

I love classic travel lit, scifi (but not so much aliens and flying saucers, more the 'what if?' variety), books with a bit of a philosophical bent. Of course travel and exploring new cultures. I love dancing, live events, camp fire singsongs, festivals and any other way of soaking up music. I fell in love with snowboarding in Japan and wish I could do it more often. Food is passion, eating it and making it so if u let me loose in your kitchen I promise to feed you well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking from Colombia to Recife, Brasil to make it to the first night of Carnival was a lot of fun....
