I'm a writer living in London. I live on the 8th floor of an abandoned tower block by the river, it's not bad.
I write mostly TV and theatre and to pay the bills, I also teach.

For fun I draw, paint, play music, read, ride my bike, swim, train Capoeira, watch old films, cook, and go for long walks through the city.

I like to go out too. I'm down for whatever, but I prefer pubs to clubs.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a sucker for anything free, but I'm also excited to meet new people and see the world through the eyes of a local rather than a tourist.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm English, it's very hard for me to brag. I assure you I've done some moderately impressive things, but you'll have to buy me a few drinks to find out.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am a pretty good cook, if you're interested in vegetarian/ vegan food then you're really in luck. But even if you're not I promise you'll like it.

I'm also up for jamming if you have a guitar, but I won't force that on you.
