Hi there I am a recovering ad man, turned social entrepreneur, and freelance documentary photographer. I am very laid back, sociable and easy to get to know. I love to laugh with old friends and make new ones. I love live music, good food, design, art and travel. I love to explore the city and travel the world whenever I can. I am also passionate about learning languages and have picked up French, Spanish and Mandarin Chinese along the way. I would love to learn more - if only I had the time :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm quite new to the Couchsurfing scene, but I have dozens of friends who have done it and loved it. When I've travelled I have stayed in a lot of hostels and home stays and have always been able to muck in, make new friends and enjoy the vibe. I also have a regular stream of international friends coming to use my place as a base. I'd like to give back to the awesome traveller community, and meet some cool people along the way.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years back I swam with whale sharks off the coast of Isla Mujeres, Mexico - at the start of an 8-month solo odyssey from Mexico to Uruguay.

I also presided over my best friend's beach wedding in Nicaragua a few years later.
