About Me

Hailing from Cornwall in the SW of the UK, I'm currently taking a break from my career as a Chartered Engineer to begin solo cycling the Pan-Am on my trusty green Genesis steely. My north-to-south route begins in Inuvik (NT, Canada) in June 2019, heading off down the Dempster Highway for the Yukon and BC.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm stoked to hopefully meet some of you on the way - I will happily (try to) cook delicious food for you and entertain you with some cycling tales of the road and sketchy guitar. I can't host at this time but when I'm home you must come and visit, it's epic.

Thanks and any tips etc. do get in touch. I'd be delighted to meet others doing a similar thing, or have some 'off the bike' side adventures.

Music, Movies, and Books

Raised on the Beatles and Petty, cut my teeth with Hendrix and Frusciante, currently on an Americana and early 90's alt rock odyssey.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Raised £3000 for Dartmoor charity MOOR TREES with my mate Doug, by paddling the legendary non-stop 125 mile Devizes to Westminster race in a 2 man kayak.
