Hello! I'm a journalist living in Fulham, London. I can host in August - I haven't hosted for a few years but I only ever remember very fond memories.

I don't drink during the week and I'm looking to meet awesome new people from around the world, so get in touch 😊

PHILOSOPHY

I do not believe in any one religion and believe that mankind in its very nature is flawed, therefore the premise of religion is open to corruption. I respect any persons beliefs completely as I once was a strong Catholic Christian, (yes I still do have the guilt), however I now believe we are all here to be positive influences in the world.

Therefore, in my new republic the rules shall be:

1. Don't be a dickhead.
2. Remember rule 1.

That's my two pennies; things are a 'bit' wrong in the current world system, but I think that instead of placation and adopting a 'Laissez-faire' attitude about the world's ills, we should all try and change our own lifestyles in order to actually do something. What that is, is up to you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted a fair few people in the past 8 years. I have been hosted in Armenia, Georgia, Turkey, Jordan and the UK; I've also surfed couches in Bulgaria, Germany, the Netherlands, Vietnam, Thailand and Syria and had an amazing time.

Couchsurfing has become a part of my life - and I'm very proud of that.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Primrose hill and a bottle of vodka - sorted

All night rooftop raves in Damascus overlooking the entire city.

Visiting a Syrian monastery with 3 amazing Singaporean CSers and Mary.

Lebanese chavs on the beach.

Walking in the Duesseldorf rain every day for 3 days because we weren't allowed in the house during the day.

Alternatively - spontaneous Armenian mountain lake fishing

Interests

I love meeting new people, playing chess, sewing and trying my hardest to get myself killed in stupid situations.
I also love hitch-hiking, dancing and cooking. In fact I could hitch-hike your back legs off and then cook you some pasta.
