I am an easy-going, chatty and sporty father of two teenage girls. I like meeting new people and learning about other cultures. I live with my mother, who is very active socially but not very mobile anymore. We live in Hanover, a delightful part of Brighton with many great local pubs, a vibrant street community, and a lovely park nearby. We are a 15-minute walk from the sea.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a low-maintenance guest who's interested in other cultures, sport, music and a whole lot more. I can be chatty or low-key depending on your preference as my host. As a guest, I always respect the fact that I'm in your home and try hard to fit into the way you like to do things.
