CURRENT MISSION
I'm a marine biologist currently backpacking around the Hawai'i islands, visiting marine institutions, community groups and awesome activists speaking about my research and the importance of ocean education.

ABOUT ME
I'm an easy-going, good fun, open-minded guy who enjoys meeting new people and going on adventures.

PHILOSOPHY
I guess, "it's better to regret things you have done than things you haven't"
Or "if you've got two options, do which ever one makes the better story".

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
love crashing around interesting peoples' houses! Happy to show people the sights of Cambridge when I'm at home (although I haven't been living here that long).

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I was a total couch-surfing virgin until I couldn't find a place to stay to visit the Kennedy Space Centre, Florida. My mate suggested trying it -and I ended up staying with two lovely NASA engineers! I then had an amazing time in Savannah afterwards. It's brilliant.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies - Napolean Dynamite, A Town Called Panic (Panique au village), The Thing, Aliens, We Are The Best, Flight of The Navigator, The Guard, The Imitation Game

Music - pretty much any band that tries to make original music within the category of alternative rock / punk / noise.

Books - I love reading but am really slow at it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organised 4 DIY European tours for my band. We've played Belgium to Ukraine. Who'd have thought that it was possible to do that with some crumby songs you wrote in your bedroom?!

Teach, Learn, Share

I used to be a high-school science teacher so I'm chock full of science facts! yeah!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a keen interest in seeking out quirky and / or inspirational people and exploring new places. I'd love the opportunity to swap stories!
