CURRENT MISSION

Adventure and Inspiration!

ABOUT ME

I'm a hippie looking slightly snobby but exceedingly friendly gent from London. I've moved about a fair bit though, was in Amsterdam the last year, and I have no idea where I'll end up next. How about you?

PHILOSOPHY

To be as happy as I can be, and not hurt anyone in that process. That seems to mean looking for new experience, adventure and inspiration as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love the idea of couchsurfing, before I was a member I met so many people who recommended it to me. There's something special about meeting people and trying to make the world a friendlier and more hospitable place.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've travelled fairly widely, and luckily I've made and had friends in many of the places I've been. Having a place to sleep, or just people to meet makes travelling a lot more fun.
