I'm a traveler, author, foodie, yogi who writes books, and helps people launch their businesses... all while traveling the globe drinking Earl Grey tea and eating coconut macaroons. (With maybe a cortado or two thrown in the mix.)

I spend 6 months a year living on the coast in Mexico and the rest visiting home (family in the UK), and traveling.

I guess travel is my first, second and third love.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used to love Airbnb because it was about travelers hosting travelers, but now it's become so impersonal I'm seeking a different platform to connect with adventurous souls.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hiked up the Sossusvlei sand dunes in Southern Africa, and watched elephants walk slowly to their watering hole in the middle of the night in a game park in Botswana. Those were WOW.
