When I was a kid I would beg my parents to let me stay at my friends' and cousins' places. There was nothing wrong with my bed but it was exciting to wake up elsewhere. I would get my friend/cousin to speak to my parents on my behalf. I would try my best to convince them that I would be well behaved and that I wouldn't wet the bed. I would remind everyone that I didn't have any allergies and that I knew how to cook toast. It didn't always work but I sure did try. Fast forward 20-something years and I'm still at it. I'm interested in surfing on your couch. I have perfected the craft of making toast and I'm easygoing but by the time I'm gone you'll never know anyone was ever there. Try me! I'll make you a song if you let me surf your couch because I can write songs and play instruments as well. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I really need more references, too - so take me on!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

UPDATE: I've revived this thing because I'm looking for a longer term place to stay. Money offered! Let me know if you want more information.
I like hosting people and giving them a good time when they come to my hometown, London. I've been to countries and had to fend for myself and sometimes I've wished there were other people to help me out a little bit, even if it's just by providing a couch for me to crash on. If that's you, let me know. I can also give a bit of guidance to the local area and help out if you want to find anywhere. If I'm living anywhere else in the world I'd do the same but for now it's just London and it's only when I'm in town as well, of course. I live near to Arsenal Football Club so that's a big plus. Let me know if there's anything else you want to know.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - jazz.
Movies - those life changing epic ones. Coming-of-age type.
Books - I'm moving away from fiction but there's nothing like a good legal thriller every so often.
