About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To travel thoughtfully, preferably by night trains because I love them too much 🤣

Moving to Barcelona in November and so really interested to meet Any body who lives there, especially if working in sustainability.

ABOUT ME

I am a relaxed, fun loving and open minded guy who loves fun, open minded, kind, thoughtful people. I have met some amazing people though couch surfing - some good friends.

Working on climate change reversal through my own company and collaborations through a European collective.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a nice flat in Herne Hill in London. I live in a one bedroom flat but with a dining room that is private and I have a mattress that goes in it. There is one bathroom for the flat.

I have a lovely large park next to me (Brockwell Park) with views over the city of London, which also has an outdoor swimming pool. The pool is unheated, and so you will need to be brave if it is not a warm day! The area is nice, with great pubs and restaurants and very close to Brixton with some fun and alternative night life.

Brixton tube station, on the Victoria Line, is a about 15 minutes walk from the apartment or 5 minutes by bus. Herne Hill station, which is on the Thameslink line, is 10 minutes walk. It is easy to get to most of the main sites using these two lines.

I am happy to welcome open minded travellers who enjoy life and good company and if I am not already busy I am happy to show you some of my favourite parts of London. If I am out with friends, you are welcome to join us.

Any other questions - let me know.
