English guy travelling and working freelance around the world. Open-minded, great conversationalist, gentlemanly.

I am passionate about traveling, in fact, I wrote a book about it: "Thy Shy Guy's Guide to Traveling", about how to kick start your travel adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Satisfies my need for traveling digs and meeting interesting, dynamic people regularly.

Interests

I find everything interesting. In any given subject, there is far more than meets than eye. I like to look at what the underlying concepts are behind anything. I'm a cineaste and avid reader. Interested in economics and politics, especially the idea of emergent order - often the most orderly and beautiful things are not planned!
