About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Back in London

ABOUT ME

English guy, new to couch surfing just got back from 5 months travelling around Asia. I have moved to London where I now live and work. I like nothing better than exploring new places with new and fun people.

I'm pretty much as English as it gets, I like tea, g & t and cucumber sandwiches. I'm pretty intolerant of stupid or lazy people, as I believe we have been given one life to enjoy and make sure we make the most out of it. If you spend your evenings watching boxset DVDs then I don't want to hear from you. (Breaking Bad I forgive)

I'm ok-ish in Spanish, but looking to improve it, I now speak a little Thai, apparently my accent is quite good.

Basically, I'm up for exploring every nook and cranny of London. If you have that explorers need, and like to "press the big red button" when the sign says not too, then get in touch. I can meet weekends and evenings.

PHILOSOPHY

“I can't go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet, but lots of AirBnB experience.

Interests

Web technologies (that's my job), Muay Thai (kick-boxing) I was learning in Thailand for 3 months. Eating chocolate icecream not mint, seeing live acoustic bands. Diving too, but the Thames isn't really suitable for that.

  • chocolate
  • traveling
  • surfing
  • scuba diving
  • boxing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Have to say diving is the top of the list, nothing like the sensation of weightlessness and the fear of being eaten by a great white shark.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, Cuba, Germany, Indonesia, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Singapore, Spain, Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In

United Kingdom
