A nerd who also loves sports, board games, hiking, and most importantly my dog, Ripley. Video games and dog walks are my ways of relaxing, along with seeing friends.

I'm pretty extroverted and love learning about other people, what makes them tick etc.

Food is my 'love language' and I am always cooking for myself and other people. I find it brings people together. I love learning new dishes and adding them to my repetoire.

My day job is quite varied but in general, I work with early stage climate startups to help them fundraise and grow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am a freelancer which gives me a lot more freedom to travel but I find that I haven't really been using it. I'm determined to change that!

Would love to know if you would be happy hosting me and Ripley but I assume that she'll be staying at home for any trips abroad.

I hosted a couple of times when I was in Cyprus years ago and kind of fell out of the habit when I got back to the UK.

When I travel, I am all about the people that I meet. I'm pretty happy to say that I've got friends all around the world from these escapades and always looking to make more.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'll happily cook together and share my recipes. I'm pretty much plant based now and I love making 'normal' dishes plant based

What I Can Share with Hosts

My company?! I'm a funny guy and I make friends easily so maybe that's enough?

If not then I'll happily cook, with my pad thai being a particular favourite among friends.
