About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to travel the world taking photos and leaving only foot prints

ABOUT ME

I'm a fun loving 40 something who likes to travel and has adventure running through my veins.
I love my friends, and consider it almost a full time job to keep in touch.

Food plays an important part of my life too, I like to cook and be cooked for ,hint, hint!
Single now but been married, no kids. Not sure if I'd do that again, but never say never!
I really love London, and do get out and enjoy the town. I think its easy to live here and just melt in and do nothing. Its important to see and use all thats going on.If you make a bit of and effort you can get lots out of it, and meet so many people. Lots of my friends are living here from abroad, and I met them randomly.
Galleries, museums, seeing family (mum, two sisters and two nephews), parties, film and long walks

PHILOSOPHY

A friend got me a book for Xmas called 6 words. Its based on a project given to Ernest Hemmingway. Anyway, you have to come up with your six words that describe you life of a story.
So mine are
OK, brace yourself, we're going in!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just started to get involved with this and met lots of people in London on the CS scene. Liking it so far, and have done some hosting too.
I really enjoyed showing people my London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have hosted already, really good fun.
So good to met people and take them around London, and stay in touch.

Interests

Photography is never just a job, so its a lifestyle, I don't seem to switch off from it.
I do lots of DIY, although my house is about finished, so doing projects for others now.
A good intelligent talk, politics, the environment and language as well as film. Really like Spike lee films and reading books by Hunter S Thompson
I'm also a member of Liberty
