Hello friends. You're probably here to find out whether or not you'd be comfortable hosting/meeting up with me. So here's the things I want you to know about me:

- I love conversations, beer, gigs, bands, board games, books, history, hikes, views, and football.
- I especially love meeting new people and finding out what they're passionate about.
- I got paid to write board game reviews for 18 months. Best job ever.
- I was team captain of the champions in the 2015 London Pub Quiz Championships.

And here are the things I don't want you to know about me:

- there's nothing I like more than a good pun.
- I'm terrible at dancing. Not even in a funny way.
- I've barely seen any films (and I'm not particularly bothered about changing that).
- despite being from Europe and travelling a LOT, I've never been to Amsterdam, Barcelona, Dublin or Vienna.

Most of my traveling these days is done while I work remotely. As such, I don't tend to Couchsurf so much anymore, but I do regularly attend CS events and meet people from the community. In fact, I love to do that!

I’m based in London (one of the best cities in the world!), so if I can be of any help when you’re in town, let me know!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet likeminded travellers and local people in the places I'm visiting. Nothing makes me happier than going out for beers with people from all four corners of the globe. And, when in London, I want to help people see the best side of it.
