About Me

I've spent most of my life in London and felt like I was living in a bubble, so I really want to start traveling more. Last year, I went on an inter-railing trip across Scandinavia and a bit of France and really want to keep the habit going. My job is super interesting, for anyone who wants to hear about fair impairment of non-current intangible assets. I like comedy (stand up or sitcoms), video games and talking about politics and philosophy. I am writing a comic-book about Galathrax the ogre at the moment and I love to make people laugh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love travelling and want to give back to the community. Also, I think it's a great way to meet new people.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years back, I won a stand-up comedy competition at a South London comedy club and haven't shut up about it since. I also wrote the lyrics to, sung and produced a blues album called "Blueberry Blues" for my girlfriend. The track "Can't account for my love for you" (get it?) is a masterpiece of nerdiness, if I do say so myself.

Teach, Learn, Share

I play a bit of piano; I'm good with numbers (I'll give you some tax advice if you'd like it!); really interested in economics, politics and philosophy.

I'd love to learn some guitar or more piano; any languages that I come across; different world views and philosophies. Just going out for a drink and having a good conversation would be perfect.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to think I'm a respectful and clean guest. I'd love to make my hosts dinner or take them out at least once during my stay.
