About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see everything and meet everyone

ABOUT ME

I'm an Englishman in Ottawa. Recovering Paris addict.

PHILOSOPHY

I like asking questions even if I don't always get answers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted at a previous address in Liverpool, and always had wonderfully kind, respectful and interesting guests. I'm looking forward to hosting again as soon as possible.

When backpacking around central Europe, I couchsurfed for most of my trip. Everyone who hosted was great, took the time to show us their favourite parts of their city and made the experience so much better than staying in a hostel.

I've met some of my best friends at Couchsurfing meetups.

Interests

Foreign languages, cooking (I love getting new ideas and trying out food from different parts of the world) films, travelling, music (pretty much all genres), guitar, football, cricket, photography, beer from around the world. I work in web/mobile user experience design and am always keen to talk about awesome apps and websites.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all kinds of films, except action movies which bore the hell out of me. As for music I'm a complete genre whore, I'll listen to pretty much anything.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbing Adam's Peak in Sri Lanka through the night to see the incredible suspended triangle shadow from the summit at sunrise.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I can teach: Anything you want to know about British sport or music! And a few good cooking recipes I've picked up over the years.

What I want to learn: More recipes from around the world! And learn more about music from other countries.
