About Me

Originally from the UK I'm an airport designer and architect who has lived in Hong Kong for the past six years. I have recently moved to Toronto which is where you find me now.

I've been lucky enough to travel since I was a younger and I hope to continue travelling whenever and however possible.

I've travelled for study, work and pleasure and I love to hear about people, their experiences and different cultures. I believe that travel and meeting new and diverse people expands your mind and broadens your horizons. Diversity paints a beautiful picture that we can all enjoy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We've all been in a position when travelling when we need a bit of assistance or looking for someone to share experiences with... Hope I can help someone in some way

Music, Movies, and Books

Graham Greene.... Particularly the Quiet American (Try reading it in Ho Chi Minh City for full effect) or The Third Man (unfortunately I didn't read it in Vienna)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I gate crashed the Pakistan Education minister's mountain retreat in 2006 (he wasn't home at the time) and managed to get a free nights accommodation. Probably my first couchsurf....

Teach, Learn, Share

Hmmm.... A guide to the best Noodle stalls in Hong Kong? How to make great porridge?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm unlikely to be out all night at a party but I enjoy a good travel story over a beer or two.
