CURRENT MISSION

Try not to get made redundant so I can continue travelling!

Next trips: Macedonia, Albania, Sao Tome e Principe.

ABOUT ME

31 y/o British non-smoking cat-lover (but currently without cats). Easygoing and enjoys meeting people, talking travel, languages and politics. Work a 9-5 job at an I.T company, enjoy it but am always thinking about and dreaming of travel. I also like exploring my surroundings and finding interesting things to see and do in the local area. Good times, good food and good people are what make my life tick...all I need is a cat or two to make it perfect. If I can get a few runs in, then all the better; I am addicted to marathons and beyond.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't have a personal philosophy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I used to host when I lived in Kyrgyzstan- unfortunately now live in a shared house so only host people I can vouch for (usually those I've met while on my travels). I loved meeting new people and sharing experiences and would like that to continue. What I can do is show people around my new home town St Albans (very historic, traditional English city). I'm new to the area and love exploring, have a car and am always open to spending the day on a road trip exploring the local area and showing visitors some of the nice English countryside.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Have only hosted, and had nothing but good experiences so far.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Running from one side of the country to the other in a day was as fun, gruelling and enlightening an experience as any of my travels. For some reason, I went back to do it again the next year.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can provide travel advice about any of the places I've lived/travelled (especially Central Asia).

What I Can Share with Hosts

Besides the dubious pleasure of my company, I can cook food which is moderately edible.
