Laid back and sociable guy from Yorkshire. Love running, festivals travelling and beer. I have just finished my PhD and am currently working with an NGO in Mumbai before travelling around India...and hopefully beyond! Looking to experience as many cultures and meet as many people as possible on my travels while also getting involved in volunteer work :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My favourite thing about travelling has always been the people. Couchsurfing is a great way to meet local people and really get to know a country. Hopefully in the future I will be able to host people and show them the wonders of London!...and the rest of the UK :)

Interests

Running, festivals, coffee, beer. I also currently volunteer with a HIV/sexual health charity and a homeless shelter in London.
