The difference between having a local friend in a place and knowing nobody is like eating in complete darkness. You'll still taste most of the same stuff, but you'll probably end up in a bit of a mess, wasting a lot and won't be able to find dessert.

Super laid back, happy to sleep on or in anything, talk to anyone, listen to anyone, eat or drink anything - just have a bunch of fun experiences, yknow. Life is good.

Now living back in London, after living in in Istanbul for 3 years! NGO work and lots of tasty food. Also travelled South America, do lots of European trips to see friends, and just finished a little USA road trip with my best bud.

I'm usually a Tour Guide in London, I'd love a tour of your city, and if you are ever in London I will show you everything that isn't Big Ben - trust me, it's a massive let down. I am also a freelance travel writer - why not share experiences and give recommendations to others?

And of course if I end up staying on your couch, mine is always available.

Did I mention, I like ice cream as much as drinking?

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often show visitors, friends of my friends and couch surfers around London, cool and alternative things to do.

Big Euro traveller, I often know people in other European cities but sometimes I don't - that's where couch surfing comes in. I love being invited into the local lifestyle of wherever I am and will go along with pretty much anything that doesn't involve shopping.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every time I visit somewhere new I think "wow this is the best place ever!"...then I get to the next place and I'm like "wow this is the best place EVER!" and then I get to the next place and I'm like "WOW this is the best place EVER!"
But I don't forget the first place or the people I met there. But I do exaggerate a lot.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know that in 1665 in London, the year when 70,000 people died from the Great Plague, 40 people also died from heartbreak?

What I Can Share with Hosts

English practice, interest in your local culture and area, a clean and relaxed guest, and I can cook pretty much anything with eggs
