I’m a 26 year old documentary film maker from Manchester, UK who is currently travelling round Asia with Lucy, my girlfriend. I like to think we’re both quite easy to get on with and always up for a laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We both love meeting people with different life styles to our own and thought this was a really interesting way to find people. We are always keen to meet people who are knowledgeable about the local area and can show us things that are off the beaten path.

I am also very passionate fan of the city of Manchester and would love to show people around the greatest city in Europe.

Interests

My interests outside of work revolve around travel and I am an avid photographer, here is a link to my Flickr for any interested parties:

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a month living with the Kenyan army making a documentary for the UN a couple of years ago

Teach, Learn, Share

We would love to share life experiences with people, but other than that Lucy can teach Yoga and I’ll happily give photography/film making lessons to anyone who’s interested!
