Currently on a motorcycle trip around the world 🙃

“I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.”

Live for adventure, film, writing, acting, motorcycles, photography, diving, climbing and trying anything new

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting and getting to know people. Exploring through the eyes of a local rather than being a tourist - and helping others to have that experience when I host. Huge thanks to all of you :-)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Realised the life is not just about money and career, dropped my business to focus on what makes me happy :-)

Rode 20.000 miles over 6 months solo on a motorcycle through the Arctic Circle, Europe, Asia and the Middle East

Teach, Learn, Share

I really enjoy cooking, especially when it’s not just for myself :-)

Happy to teach you about photography, climbing, discuss philosophy, business, travel advice, exchange music recommendations and share a glass of wine
