Overview
About Me
I'm a big, friendly guy who will happily talk to anyone about pretty much anything! My wife, Sarah, and I have just finished travelling around the world focusing on Latin America, Australia and South East Asia. We now live and work in London until we have enough money to do it all again!!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Because Couchsurfing is a great way to help people realise that the world isn't as scary as a lot of people think it is. There are way more good, kind people than bad ones.
So if friendly locals are willing to make new friends and have a laugh then I'm all for it!
Interests
I've been working a desk job for 5 years - it can be soul destroying. So instead, let's play sports, any sport! Would be great to meet up with folk who like football (soccer).
