About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see as much of the world as possible, meet great people along the way and share some amazing experiences!

I don't always want to go see churches, galleries and museums. I often prefer finding a cool bar, cafe or restaurant and meeting the people of the city, rather than mingling with tourists in the cities hotspots.

Cooking is a big passion of mine, I'm adventurous when trying new foods and always looking for new dishes that I can take inspiration from and try myself at home.

I love a good beer as much as good coffee, or even killing two birds with one stone - an Espresso Martini!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I mainly participate in Couchsurfing by hosting people in my flat in London.

When I travel, as of late I have needed to work too so mainly attend CS events, hangouts and make new friends in the evenings and weekends.

Interests

I love to push myself physically. I love to run. I run without music and it is an amazing time to clear your head!

I love to cook as much as I love to eat! I would welcome lessons on how to cook local dishes too.

I like a good debate and like understanding how other people think. I have my ideas but I am willing to hear the other side of the story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Visiting Japan was an amazing experience. It was such a different culture to the rest of my travels. The bamboo forests near Kyoto were an amazing site to see. Trying mouth-watering Kobe beef, Sushi in Osaka, Skiing in the mountains of Hakuba and finally exploring the Golden Gai in Tokyo!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am happy to show you places around London. There are many place within walking distance of my flat including the Beatles Crossing, Little Venice, Portobello Road, Regents Park, Primrose Hill and much more.

I can often be found in Pubs in London serving good beer so would be happy to share some of these places with you. There is an eclectic mix of food in London and I would be happy to recommend some of my favourite spots for whichever cuisine you are in to!
