I'm an Englishman living in Iceland! After many years working in London in the field of Housing Management, Urban Regeneration and Sustainable Development, I decided 5 years ago it was time to have new adventures in Iceland. I have worked in cafés (I love coffee), and worked for four years with Youth With a Mission Iceland.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love to travel and meet people! I'd love to host couchsurfers when I move into more permanent accommodation after a summer of travelling.

Intereses

I love music and have worked with Icelandic musicians, helping with management and lyrics in English. I play drums and piano and listen to a wide variety of music and genres. I really enjoy music festivals and live music.

I love photography and you can check out my work here:

Also love hiking, culture, road trips, history, exploring new cities, networking and connecting, coffee, good food, craft beers and wine.
