About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To share culture; food, music and laughter.
Usually travelling as an underpaid DJ

I want to experience a place as a local would.
Nothing too fancy - just real life for me!

To leave each place a little nicer than how I found it.

ABOUT ME

Travelled most of my 20's and settled in London in my 30's where I've operated as an entrepreneur in the food and drink business since.

PHILOSOPHY

Be kind & try to exercise compassion for others.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I’ve had various houses who accepted couch surfers- I will be accepting in Norway from September.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couch-surfed in Colombia and during a hitchhiking trip from Italy, through France and Germany!
I experienced an amazing warmth from everyone and we always shared great times!

Interests

I travel a lot (i think we all do: )
I cook (and want to be a better cook and learn peoples recipes-TEACH ME!)
I read,
I love to play sport and do outdoor activities (everything from football, basketball to mountain climbing and scuba diving!),
I really care about the environment! Its a number one priority for me! I love to talk with people about what they think on the subject.
