Originally from Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Studied at Winchester & Southern Oregon University. Moved to London. Taught English in Italy and China. Travelled around Asia. Returned to the UK. Worked at various festivals. Got a "real job". Bought a house. Lived the dream. Things became too routine. Now back to finding myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to meet other like minded people to share their passion and knowledge. Would love to make new friends and explore as much as possible.

Interests

I studied photography whilst in America. I returned to the UK and began working at various clubs and events. I left the UK to teach. Returned, and started my own independent business to photography, film and edit work for weddings, sports, theatre and festivals. Would love to be able to take this around the world and get immersed in things happening all over.
