Easy going, outgoing, love sharing stories, cultures, always up for a challenge, laugh or beer. Be prepared for terrible dad dancing and even worse dad jokes.

I’ve been working in the non-profit/humanitarian sector for a while. Recently moved back from Ukraine.

When not at home playing board games or Lego you'll find me out walking, cycling or just generally adventuring.

Please don’t request dates more than a few weeks in advance. Sorry I’m just not that organised!

Normally host 1-3 nights at a time.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Love to accept wayward travellers, walkers, cyclists, unicyclists, tourists, people meeting up with long lost family or anyone looking to sample the delights of London.

If I can't host you, I can't individually respond but please don't take it personally! I just get a lot of requests.

Interests

Anything new, weird or wonderful.

I play the ukulele, a bit of bass and (the obvious tell tale sign of a cool school kid) the clarinet in my younger days.

Im just a little bit in love with cycling.
