I am dedicating 2025 to travel, study, volunteer and connect with new people. I am hoping to broaden my perspectives on ways of living and different cultures.

I am passionate about building international solidarity around equality, justice and environmental protection.
I am an advisor to the UK Government on climate change and co-founder/CEO of the NGO Equal Aqua, which provides equal access to water in Uganda.

I am currently living in North London with my girlfriend Hannah. When we are in London, we have a sofabed available for guests.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling for me is all about getting to know new people and experiencing the world more deeply. Some of my fondest memories are with people on CS, living a day in their life and seeing the world through their eyes.

This could involve sharing music, travelling stories, dreams for the future, going to work with them, meeting their their friends, families, cooking together.

Interests

I'm a huge music geek. I play a few different instruments and love a good music festival. I often busk with the guitar in places I visit. I also play ice hockey for my university team.
