ABOUT ME

I've lived in London now for 3 years, I moved down here straight after I graduated University. I'm originally from a tiny little village in the North East so London came as quite a shock. But, it's an incredible place!

I've never had a gap year, or really gone 'back packing', but as I'm getting a bit older I've developed a desire to see more places and do more things. I've travelled extensively around Europe, including lots of old Soviet countries in Eastern Europe. I'm fascinated by the politics of Africa, and I definitely want to go all over the continent and learn more!

PHILOSOPHY

I can't pretend I'm deep. I'm not. I just crack on with life and hope it works out well.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm available for a drink, or an afternoon of showing you round one of the many exciting parts of London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met up with a few people while I was in South Africa, and it was tremendous! I would urge everyone to do it, because it allows you to see real life in the country you're visiting, not just the touristy image of the country.

Interests

All sorts of things really, I work in politics, and I'm really interested in it, but I do like lots of other things as well!

• drinking
