CURRENT MISSION

To grow wiser by travel and reading and new encounters...to have good stories to tell over beer!

ABOUT ME

I am a documentary filmmaker and social science researcher teaching media and communications at Keele University. I and my wife have recently moved to Nottingham. Our mission for the next year is to discover and experience the best this area has to offer. Good company is essential for this task. We hope the CS community can help us with that. Please give us a shout if you are in the area and up for some wandering!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have hosted people in Loughborough and Stoke where I lived earlier. I and my wife have now moved to Nottingham. We have a spare bed available in a pleasant flat in a nice and well connected part of town. I have not yet made use of the network to seek a couch but am hoping to do so soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

The experience has been absolutely great. I've met some very interesting people who I would've otherwise not encountered.
