About Me

Just your average British guy, nothing like what you see on TV. I've used to couch surf back in 2013, when I travelled around the USA, now I want to give back and start hosting.

I have a lot of interests and they change often. My biggest and more constant passions are music and software engineer. I've started coding when I was 14 and as for the music side, I'm not going to be one of those people who say I'll listen to everything, but it not a million miles off. I grew up on British and American rock, metal & indie, however now I've mellowed out a little and folk is my goto genre. As I got older I started selectively listening to some hiphop and rap, edm, techno, drum & bass, pop and a bunch of others. I go to as many gigs as I can and try to make at least one music festival a year.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just want to meet some cool people.

I'm a completely chilled out guy, I live ust outsid of London and work from home as a Site Reliability Engineer for Oracle. Trains run to London every half hour and take 35-45 minutes to get to central London and up to an hour to get to south London.

I have a spare single bed and and spare sofa. Which means I can only have 2 guests at a time.

1. I can offer you clean blankets and pillow and a sofa and arm chair to sleep on
2. I can offer you access to a WiFi network
3. I can offer you access to Amazon Prime and Netflix, if you want to chill out
4. I can offer you a kitchen to prepare food, just please be prepared to clean up afterward
5. I can offer you out with friends to cool spots in London

Interests

- I play a lot of tennis, usually 3-5 times a week, it's my main source of exercise
- I love to cycle too and try to get out a couple times a week
- I'm learning to play piano right now
- I could live on Turkish food for the rest of my days. Italian too.
- Bill Burr, Rick Gervais, Theo Von, Lee Mack, Ronny Chieng, Jimmy Carr and Matt Riff are just some of my favourite comedians
