About Me

Easy going, down to earth, inoffensive, open minded, political, friendly yorkshire lad.

Likes to be active. I have recently got back into running and athletics.

I hope to make my difference through working with co-operatives. I'm a founder director of a cooperatively owned online marketplace called fairmondo UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Our sense of community has been fairly quickly eroded over the past 50 years. We need to find new ways of creating meaningful forms of human interaction (even if they're not always local). This means learning how to share, be generous and look after each other. Couch surfing just seems like a great platform for promoting that culture so I wanted to join and try it out.
