About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To show off London and to see where ever I can. Eastern Europe is next on the list people!

ABOUT ME

I love to travel and meet people. I'm a structural engineer by profession and I play guitar, bass and a little piano. I love the water. I surf, sail, dive and swim. I love being outside. I climb, trail run, obstacle course race, snowboard, ski and hike. I moved to Swansea when i was 18 and to London when i was 23. I was the social secretary of the Swansea Uni Surf Club and cocktail bartender.

PHILOSOPHY

Treat people as you would like to be treated.

Those that mind don't matter an those that matter don't mind.

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Two so far! First, my lady and i were in Utrecht in Holland and we ended up meeting this guy Rene who happened to be a couchsurfer so we stayed with him. Second, almost the exact thing happened in Prague with Mika. True epic times were had in both cities!

We also have hosted a few. We had a pretty cool couple of brothers with were travelling using money gained from busking in their two piece Scottish folk band. They played at an event my woman put on then ended up entertaining all our mates until the morning.
