ABOUT ME

Laid back and easy going guy from London. I have lots of different interests and a very optimistic attitude to life in general. Looking to meet people with similar outlooks. Open minded and LGBT friendly.

As a teacher I get a fair amount of holiday time to travel. Have explored most of Europe, parts of Asia and Africa, the US, Canada and just recently got back from Colombia. Try and get away as much as possible.

PHILOSOPHY

There are no strangers here; only friends you haven't met yet.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used couchsurfing a few years ago while I was exploring eastern Canada - was a great experience! Willing to show people around London if I can squeeze in the time. Currently trying (and failing!) to learn Spanish.

Interests

Big into music (very varied from electro to reggae and soul) and go to lots of gigs and festivals. Enjoy going out to clubs, museums, galleries, the theatre and cinema. Have an interest in architecture - particularly modern stuff. I enjoy keeping fit and cycle everywhere. I studied politics at uni in Manchester so keep an interest. Like to have debates/chat about it over a drink or two. Big reader as well.
