UPDATE (May 2018): I'm temporarily living in Doncaster at my family's home. Planning to move back to London very soon.

I've lived all over the capital. My favourite place is Hackney... with it's canals, abandoned rail tracks, wild graveyards, art house squats and local shops.

Love sharing music, stories, language skills, coffee, beer...

PHILOSOPHY

Question the definite. Dance between the lines.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I'm living in a flatshare, which makes it difficult to host people. Get in touch if you want to meet for: coffee/beer, music/film/art, language exchange...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I started couchsurfing in 2010 when I stopped off in Rio de Janeiro on the way to a teaching job. Since then I've surfed in Portugal, Spain and Norway. I also hosted people when living with a friend who is an avid couch surfer. A lot of my experiences with people on this website have been organised by that friend - so now I'd like to build up more connections through my page.
