CURRENT MISSION

To share new things with new people

ABOUT ME

We were once physicists. I became a management consultant living in London, while Sabine became a petroleum engineer. Having recently quit those jobs, we are seizing life by the neck and trying to teach ourselves the skills to become technology entrepreneurs.

While learning all things tech, we plan to open up our London flat to couchsurfers wanting to see the big 'smoke'. Then after that, we're looking to meet some couch-surfers in some far flung parts of the world, who can share in new experiences and maybe offer a power socket.

I can offer to teach you a little guitar, make some of the world famous Scottish food or even offer free management consulting (not!!!)
Sabine is always up for sharing good food, and enjoying a good chat !

PHILOSOPHY

This is getting introspective hmmm, I worry about ageing and not doing things, I don't believe in ability just making stuff happen

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I offer rooms in my London flat while I can. One day I'll need a couch to sleep on in my sleeping bag and possibly a plug for my laptop.
