Im a Londoner who works internationally as a conflict mediator. I have travelled and lived overseas for most of my life. In Feb 2017 I finished a six month travelling sabbatical: https://photoblog/clunkygears/ I'm happy to host those on long journeys who are in need of somewhere to stay and a good rest. I don't host those on short holidays to London; unless in exceptional need!

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I started using couchsurfing in 2016 during a six-month sabbatical from work, including three months motorcycling across America. Couchsurfing made my trip possible and refilled my faith in humanity. Now I'm home I would like to repay the debt by hosting when I can, or by showing travellers around the bits of London I know. Two caveats, I travel a lot for work, wo it will be hit and miss whether I am at home and able to host. Secondly, I am not interested in hosting tourists looking to save money, but rather travellers in need; so tell me about your journey when asking to stay.
