I'm 35 years old, I studied Civil Engineering at the University of Bath and now work as a Civil Engineer through my own company.
I'm currently living in London and have a spare room.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet new people and really get a feel for different countries. If you don't interact with local people you miss a whole other dimension to the country

Interests

I like quite a few things, unfortunately this means I'm a jack of all trades and master of none.

I participate in a few sports:

Skiing,
Mountain Biking,
Surfing,
Swimming,
Rugby,
American Football,
I'm just starting to Kayak again, I used to teach it, but stopped when I went to university.

I love cars, all types, well really anything with an engine interests me be it bikes, cars, trains, or planes.

I dabble in photography when the mood takes me, really only when I travel, but I'm buying a drone for Ariel filming of construction sites and I'm hoping to incorporate this more into my other hobbies, like biking and motorsport.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2012 I cycled 12oookm through Africa from Cairo to Cape Town, it took 120 days, 96 of those were cycling days averaging 123km a day.

This year I have just completed the Mongol Rally driving from London to Mongolia

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm starting a part time Masters in BIM at university next year. I'm also learning photography and film making to try and get better at it so I can incorporate it into my other hobbies.

I'm not really good anough at anything to teach it yet, perhaps I will be one day. I don't mind learning new things with other people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've got a spare room with a double bed most of the time and if that is full then I have a sofa.
