CURRENT MISSION

To meet like minded, curious people open to new ideas and experiences!!

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Mac. I'm just an ordinary, open minded traveller looking to have some fun and meet interesting people from around the world. I'm easy going and laid back with a live and let live attitude - nothing seems to worry me too much. I like showing people around London and will do my best to give you plenty of advice for things to do and see, sometimes discovering new things myself in the process! Even if I can't always host, I am happy to show people around London, meet up for a meal, go for a pint or chill out with a traditionl Finnish sauna. It is totally up to you. I am happy to spend some time together, let you do your own thing or just chat about your travels.

PHILOSOPHY

Don't judge!!

If it feels good - do it!!!

People are not strangers, just friends you haven't met yet.

Be nice to people - it costs nothing!!!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love it. I host. I've surfed a little. I go to the odd CS event. I offer my couch when I can. I show surfers around London or just meet up with people to hear about their adventures. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet like minded people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Come as a stranger but leave as a friend. I've hosted mainly and surfed here and there. Our house always has someone coming or going. If I can host you I will. Send me a couch request - it's that easy!!!
