About Me

Brand new to couchsurfing, I am 28 years old, quit the corporate job in London last year and now exploring the world for the time being - been in India and Thailand so far, doing meditation retreats and traveling. Next stop --> Melbourne :-) for an undefined period. After that who knows, these things come in waves so probably back on the career path some point soon, wherever that will lead.

Pretty open minded and easy going guy, lots of interests (see below) and love to cook. Up for anything from a party to a week of silence - whatever the occasion may bring.

Interested in philosophy and science; a growing interest in the Eastern philosophies and religions. And logic. Maybe I think too much about things. But then maybe that's good. I quite like it anyway (until I get too confused and then realise how little I've done with my day)

Also ...music. Into production (electronic) and playing the drums, piano and guitar. Love a good jam. Love the theory side too.

Like to have a good chat over a few drinks, about pretty much anything - the deeper things or the totally menial.

Just happy to meet and hang out with new people really, whether weird or normal, or neither, or both!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To spice up my travels by meeting and spending time with new people, you never know what it might lead to. Hopefully bringing something fun their way too :)

Of late... watching the human cremations on the banks of the river Ganges in Varanasi was quite something
