Hey, I'm joe, I live in Wimbledon in London. I'm a writer, journalist and musician. I love to travel and I love to read. My next trip is to california for two months! My favourite destination so far is Portugal! I love the culture and the people. I lived in the Algarve for a few months last year and I'm trying to learn the language. I've lived in London for a long time and I know the city very well. I'd love to welcome guests and show them around all the great sites and hidden gems of my wonderful city!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Going on safari in Kenya was a mesmerising and life changing experience. Hiking through the towns of Cinque Terre in Italy was unforgettable! Also driving the Big Sur from LA to San Francisco was pretty special.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have a nice flat in Wimbledon which is in south West London. It is easy to get to central London from my place, it is just a 10 minute train ride to Waterloo station. I know London very well and I would be glad to show people around. London is one of the best cities in the world for history and culture. There is so much to see and do. I know lots of hidden gems and little places to get a great bite to eat, a nice drink and meet lots of different and interesting people.
