About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To leave a great legacy as a person who touched many lives.

ABOUT ME

Chilled person, with a big passion and desire to maximise life.
I am born & bred in London. My wife is from New Zealand, a Sri Lankan Kiwi in fact. Our aim is to help visitors to London by either offering a couch or to show you a little bit around London. We might not have loads of time to be great hosts, but we promise that you won't be getting kicked out at 7am in the morning.
All the best surfers!
ps London.. doesn't get any better for a big city!

PHILOSOPHY

You make a living by what you get, but make a life by what you give.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host, amateur tour guide, used to organise theatre events every few weeks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Update (March 2012): Reactivated my CS account after 4years.. I had not used it once until now.. Then next day joined in with a CS meet up. Had a great time meeting a nice mixture of people. Am I backpacking again now in my home town..? awesome! It's a fantastic community of people.
Update (Jan 2013).. The global Couchsurfing community has an extra special place in my heart as I was able to contact an incredibly helpful girl in Brisbane who helped me arrange a very special event upon my arrival. I'll give you more details in person if you really want to know.
Update (Sep 2014) Erm, no update. S
Update (May 2017) Been organising some CS events over the last year. Keep an eye out on the events page!
