I would describe myself as conscientious, thoughtful and unmaterialistic. I'm pretty mobile having grown up near Brighton, studied in Wales, lived in Germany and Exmoor National Park. I love adventures, meeting other explorers and new ideas!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfers tend to be interesting, generous people who enjoy helping others. I once surfed my way around Germany watching open air cinema, swimming in lakes, visiting parks, gatecrashing parties and hanging out with friends old and new. I've also hosted lots of great people from all over, both in Bangor and Minehead. I've been unable to host for a few years, but that will change soon!

One Amazing Thing I've Done
"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain"
