Hello!

My name is Pete and I am a Product Designer working between London and Brighton. I have recently started my own company designing art tools for wheelchair users, www.enayball.com, whilst also doing graphic design, animation and motion graphics. As you can tell I am super passionate about design, in particular accessible design for the medical sector. I also love drawing and making (I try and do a drawing a day), and I am fascinated with design in other cultures. I am also a keen cyclist and rock climber.

I am a very clean and respectable guest with many funny (I hope!) stories to share! I love to share my interests with hosts and guests (and drinking and cooking), hopefully passing on some skills and knowledge to fellow travelers. I love to talk about design and music, nerding out to everything! I look forward to meeting you! I think I am easy going so depending on the host's situation I can stay out of the way and keep to myself, or be talkative and sociable.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The best way to see a city is through staying with locals. The best way to meet interesting people is through embracing new people.I've hosted and been hosted for and have always had a memorable experience and recommend it to anyone I meet staying in a new place. I see it as a more interesting alternative than a hostel and coaches are comfy anyways.

I am currently on a trip cycling around the Netherlands with my close friend and housemate Cameron, seeking places to stay on the trip. We only require a place to sleep as we will be leaving early in the mornings to continue the trip.

I fell in love with couch surfing last year whilst cycling from London to Lille in France - the host I stayed with was the loveliest person I have ever met, so accommodating and welcoming. I now want to return the favor to others and host them at mine.
