I want to see more of the world and meet new friends at the same time. I'm into outdoor sports so it would be good to meet others who like getting out into the mountains.

I'm really into music - I mainly listen to electronic music. Manchester gets most of the big bands so if you're here for a gig let me know!

As I work with architects I have an appreciation of architecture, both old and new - I really like seeing different building in the countries I visit.

In the UK I live in Manchester which is under an hour to get into the Peak District, 2 hours to Wales, 2 hours to the Lake District. I have a spare room and anyone is welcome to stay. I also have a couch so can host a few people. Potentially weekends are best to host but will consider all requests!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to visit more countries meet interesting people. I want to see the part of cities that you don't see as a tourist.
