=======================================

I currently live in central London with my girlfriend Michaela (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/michaela-winterbottom) and we're happy to host all sorts. I prefer those who are on a mission to better themselves (coming to town for an interview, or to check out a school), but I'm happy to receive your great request and take it from there...!

I'm a well traveled bloke.
Miss the hostel lifestyle in a way, but also like being slightly older and able to afford some more comforts. I love to rough it though.

I'm a biker (motor, not pedal!), play guitar and enjoy various typical western activities.

I'm not a clubber, preferring a coffee shop or pub, where I can hear my friends.. ;-p

All in all I believe in love, respect and honesty.
I'm happy to share my home, and all I ask in return is that you put that love back out there.. help a stranger in any way you can.. a smile to a sad looking soul on the bus, or give a surfer a couch... and all in between.

PHILOSOPHY

Live each year for what it offers. and if you don't like it, look harder...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host alot.
I do try give new members a chance as it's hard to surf without references and we all have to start somewhere. If I've not got much time to hang out, I'll opt for the more experienced surfers as I can trust them more and they understand the nature of the host/surfer relationship. That being said, I do try and make time to help you learn about London and British culture.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted for many years...
I've surfed a fair bit too...

Generally, the CS mentality is how we should all be.
Share, love and party...!!!
