I'm English but I spent most of my life an an immigrant in Portugal, disconnected from both cultures and kind of living in my own world. It's allowed me to be a free agent and not be tied down. Bit of a free spirit interested in real human connection, not mediated by social media algorithms or marketplace logic. Friendly and talkative sometimes to a fault, I don't take myself too seriously, always laid-back and easygoing.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet interesting, "hors de milieu" kinda people and explore new places from a local perspective.

Music, Movies, and Books

Jazz is my first love but I'm big into post-punk, classic rock, grunge, techno, darkwave, awful cheesy 80s pop.

Big movie buff, open to just about anything. My all-time favourites are Blade Runner and Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid; the best film I saw last year was Everything Everywhere All At Once - I am convinced that I am Waymond Wang.
