Well...hopefully the travelling and adventures can start again :)

Not the typical tourist. Prefer to see how the locals live and explore North, East, South and West of each city centre I visit :) When I was growing up I loved sports more than anything but now travelling has become my number 1 passion! I've been to 46.5 countries and hopefully there will be a few more soon :)

I was born in London and I've lived there my whole life. But...London life is busy so I like to take a rest from this crazy city and see new places. My job involves working for the government and it's Brexit-related....! I love living in London and there's so much to do but I do prefer cultures where people like to smile and have a good time! Us Londoners are not great at smiling but I'd like to think I'm helpful to all London guests that I pass in the streets when I'm on my way to work or going out to the shops for lunch :)

At the moment I can't host but that may change in the near future. For now, I'm just interested in finding out about other countries and cultures. To be honest I've been a bit selfish and used Couchsurfing to go into forums and learn new things about places overseas!

Things that I like to do: Apart from travel (!) - Play and watch sports, go to the gym, EAT (very important), go to cosy cafes and talk all evening, cycle, play pool (called billiards in some countries), watch live music/theatre, drive when the roads are clear with some relaxing music, walk and.. call radio talk shows as I have an opinion on most things :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well I just want to find out about the world. I'm definitely not a 'closed book' like so many other Londoners. Couchsurfing (I hope) will enable me to discover new things about places I haven't been to and perhaps meet some interesting people who can provide recommendations and suggestions. Similarly, I can share some of the secrets of London away from the typical touristy stuff people do over here like visit Big Ben and the London Eye….zzzzzzzzzzz.

Teach, Learn, Share

What do I say here?! Erm, well I can teach English I guess…since I was born here in London! I'd like to learn about other cultures and how different people in the world behave in a similar situation. Share…well I am the type of person who likes to share food and other nice things! I'm not selfish :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Share…well I can share my knowledge of England and my geography is pretty awesome :) I know London like the back of my hand (as we say).
