CURRENT MISSION

Enjoying being back in London.

ABOUT ME

I'll start with the stuff a potential host would probably most want to know: I'm clean, tidy and respectful, I don't smoke - and am a tolerable cook!

I'm not a party animal at all, but love spending time with friends (old and new) in a relaxed setting. I'm not into any particularly strenuous activities; I much prefer a gentle hike or bicycle ride where I can enjoy the scenery... That said, I am adventurous in other ways, and always happy to try new foods and experience different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY

Still working on one...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've surfed a few times now and hosted on three occasions, though am unable to do so at present. However, I'm happy to meet up with any travellers and/or offer tips on getting the best out of London!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I enjoy surfing and hosting equally, as both offer the opportunity to meet fellow travellers and share experiences of a place, whether it's my home or theirs.
