About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Enjoy life :)

ABOUT ME

I have recently moved to Chapel Hil, NC, originally from the UK, I don't know many people here, So say hi :)

I'm an easy going guy, with a positive outlook on life :) I have a wide circle of friends in the UK, primarily because I did a lot of Ceroc dancing and have made many friends through dancing!

I'm a keen skier and try and go skiing at least once a year. I enjoy travelling and visiting different places around the world, and of course making new friends!

PHILOSOPHY

Today is the first day of the rest of your life :)

You have a choice, you can always think positively if you try :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm happy to host people visiting the area and to visit other people as I travel :)

I have attended group meet ups both in Reading and London, and for a few years I offered a couch on my Narrowboat :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first CS experience was in Copenhagen and it was excellent :) I stayed for 5 days and feel I have made some new friends for life! I have already been 10 times!

I have also couch surfed in New Jersey, which was great and I have hosted people CS'ing with me in my house in Reading and on my Narrowboat in London!
