Hello all!

I live in Manchester... work as a design engineer (buildings and things)... read obsessively, write a lot, and spend maybe too long in the sauna and steam room. The first thing I like to do when I get to a new place is walk. Walk around for hours just looking at the streets, the people, and the lives unfolding in front of me and capture some photography with that novel interest... and hopefully have a few conversations!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

"Speak to strangers and make them not afraid"

I love meeting new people and discussing ideas, thoughts, feelings...

Through the CS community I learnt to appreciate the innumerable different attitudes we possess as human beings - long let it continue.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These stories are best shared over a drink, coffee, board game or wandering lost with no real place to get to... or looking for a party!
