I live in London next to Arsenal Football Stadium. I like to have a coffee and a chat, although not too much coffee, I won't be able to sit still. I've always been a great watcher of Films, I was practically force-fed them at a very young age.

I also enjoy taking photographs, although since graduating to digital systems, I feel a little lost in the woods. Perhaps you should visit my website:

I've been climbing and Hiking in the U.K for the last couple of years, I'm not particularly well travelled, but am very excited to go to and experience new places/faces. It's interesting to see how the landscape looks in other countries.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It seems like a brilliant concept.
I'd like to put underwhelming British teabags in kettles all over the world.
It seems like the best way to meet local characters / learn where the best burgers are to be found.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm too humble for this box.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'd be happy to show you around a Camera, I've taught many people how to take photographs throughout the years. Modern cameras do most of the work however the principles are still the same.

Sometimes I use sunburn as an analogy for film exposure, in fact I'm full of analogies in general.
