I am a research engineer from London working in the 3D Printing industry. I spend most of my days in a very technical environment so I like to cook, take photos and create art to unwind.

I also play canoe polo, one of the weirder sports in the world! Think of a mix between water polo and kayaking... it's great fun :D Also play squash to keep fit.

Music festivals are a must every summer! I've been to many in the UK and also in Europe.

Very laid back nature, I don't tend to have a plan until the day. Take it as it comes. I have no expectations of people and never judge on first appearances!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet people and have experiences that I would be able to have any other way. Broadening horizons is the most important part of travelling and Couchsurfing seems like the best way to get to the heart of a city.

Chilling with hosts would be great, but I'm equally happy to explore by myself and be as 'invisible' as possible in my stay.

Teach, Learn, Share

Always willing to learn about cultures, especially cuisine. Asian is my favourite but since being in the US I've had my eyes opened to great Mexican and of course incredible Bbq!

I love fixing things, so showing people how to do 'handy man' or some more technical jobs is always rewarding!
