After a lot of couchsurfing 10-15 years ago, I'm finally travelling again and excited to rediscover what couchsurfing looks like today!

I love films, books, history, science, board games, sci-fi/fantasy and dinosaurs.

I do not smoke, and I'm triple vaccinated. I'm not good at cooking but I'm great at washing dishes and happy to help with any chores! I'm very clean and I promise I don't snore!

I'm easy going but well organised. I would like to meet hosts and other locals who are willing to spend time with me - I won't treat your home like a hotel!

I live in London but recently spent a few years in California.

I'm traveling solo and have no pets.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've done a lot of surfing, mainly in America and Europe, and also some hosting when I lived in Cambridge. I've had nothing but really positive experiences in the past. I cannot express my extreme and astonished gratitude to all the amazing people who've hosted me, and my admiration for those who've been my guests. I wish I could get you all together and go found a new planet or something.
