PHILOSOPHY

Live for the moment, and don't dwell on the past.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

By offering suggestions for sightseeing attractions, good conversations and a descent bed.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've only hosted a few times since I joined the community, and it's only been great experiences so far.

Interests

When it comes to interests and hobbies, I like to play squash, spend time socializing with friends, watch movies (worked at a cinema for several years), football (Aston Villa), history, and of course, travelling.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've traveled a fair share of the world, mostly Europe, but also North America and Asia.
I've still got a whole lot left of the world to see though.

It's not about how many countries you visit, it's about the people you meet on your path.

Teach, Learn, Share

I make some "kick ass" good french toast, don't mind asking for the recipe.
