Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To gain a true sense of the world, in all its myriad wonder
ABOUT ME
I work on the Crossrail programme (building a new overground and underground railway across London!)
I'm open-minded and like to explore what the world has to offer in new friends and experiences, now hopefully through hosting. I always love to learn something new.
I'm a curious (and reasonably well read/travellled) guy, so I leave it an open challenge to find something about yourself I wouldn't be interested in!
PHILOSOPHY
You should never let your morals stop you from doing what is right
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I used CF alot when I travelled from Istanbul to Slovenia, and the Netherlands to Austria via Norway, between camping. I'm immensely grateful to everyone hwo hosted me and shared their life!
Interests
I'm very interested in general experience, of life, culture everything! Though I have little to offer in comparison to some I'd very much like to share what I have and learn a lot more!
I have an interest in history & philosophy, music, hiking, theatre, films, Norwegian, wing-chun kung-fu and now ice-skating!

Music, Movies, and Books
I love all kinds of music, but my favourites atm are old rock like Styx etc, and old blues like Etta James and Howlin' Wolf.
My favourite directors are Akira Kurosawa and Edward Zwick.
I like classic fiction like Catch 22, historical fiction like Gone with the Wind and pre-90s SF like Philip K. Dick and Asimov.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Saw the midnight sun from a tent in the Norwegian Arctic Circle. Phenomenal experience :)
