About Me

~~ you don't need to personalize your request, if I have availability and I'm checking my e-mails, I'll respond regardless. I have ADHD and my response rate is a reflection of that, try your luck :D ~~

I'm a British dude who been living in Warsaw since 2024. I work from home full-time and have some things I'm working on the side; trying to find a way to get out the game. I'm fairly sociable and I'd like to think I'm a good balance of serious and silly (:

I've met a bunch of good people from/through CS over the years though events, surfing, hosting and am glad to meet more :)

My current place is kinda tiny so more suitable for sleeping than than lounging. Fortunately the neighbourhoood is full of bars, cafes, bakeries and the location is very central so there are no shortage of places to explore or hang out.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the idea of the platform... helping each other explore the world by removing the cost of accommodation.

Also, I think it's nice to travel to a place and, to some extent, experience it through the eyes of someone who lives there.

Interests

I have a bunch of interests and hobbies but, in general, just really love learning new things.

I love music and especially electronic music... I sometimes host DJ skillsharing sessions or organise small outdoor parties.

As for sports, I'm most happy if there is a board under my feet.

  • photography
  • djing
  • skating

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: mostly electronic and hip-hop but recently seeking novelty and complexity

Movies: Richard Linklater and Frank Capra are my favorite filmmakers

Books: Mostly non-fiction but trying to change that. War & Peace right now.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I DJ'd at a rave the night of Midsommar in Sweden and both the sunset and sunrise that night were amazing.

Teach, Learn, Share

I enjoy all three.

A bunch of knowledge and hobbies that I can teach/share with varying degrees of competency. Mainly board sports, media stuff and tech stuff.

I love learning new things. I've neglected my cooking skills for years and my biggest knowledge gaps are probably in art and history -- if you can teach me anything at all, I'd be glad to learn it!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A bottomless well of random chit-chat, if desired. The Geneva Convention forbids me from subjecting anyone to my cooking but I'm glad to order us food.

Countries I’ve Visited

Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Finland, France, Mexico, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
