Laid back and easy going guy from London. Been to 40 countries and love to explore new places and meet new people. I have a very inquisitive mindset and love learning in general, but especially anything to do with geography, politics, modern history, economics, architecture, science and space. Open minded and LGBT friendly.

As a teacher I get a decent amount of holiday time to travel. Have explored most of Europe, parts of Asia and Africa, the US, Canada and just recently got back from Colombia and Brazil. Try and get away as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing a few years ago while I was exploring eastern Canada - was a great experience! Willing to show people around London if I can squeeze in the time. Currently trying (and failing!) to learn French.

Interests

Big into music (very varied from electro to reggae and soul) and go to lots of gigs and festivals. Enjoy going out to clubs, museums, galleries, the theatre and cinema. Have an interest in architecture - particularly modern stuff. I enjoy keeping fit and cycle everywhere. I studied politics at uni in Manchester so keep an interest. Like to have debates/chat about it over a drink or two. Big reader as well.
