Pretty quiet guy generally until we start discussing deeper topics, then try and shut me up :)

I work pretty heavily at the moment but do try to get out on random adventures whenever I can, would be happy to take guests along. Absolutely love animals (especially cats) and getting out into nature.

Completing a Phd in Criminology and Law, and always up for an intellectual discussion (or debate!).

I live on my own most days, and my two young kids stay with me once a week. Hosting is available outside of the kids' visits.

Haven't hosted travellers before so not sure what to expect, but always open to new experiences :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Recommended by friends. I don't get a chance to meet many new people due to work, so a good way to meet people and share some hospitality. Also have a good sized house with space for more people most days!
