Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've spent a long while on the road and I've crossed paths with a fair amount of incredible people, some of whom have shown hospitality way beyond the call of duty. Now I'm taking some time to be settled here in the capital, and have my own place, it's a great time for me to offer a place to all my brothers and sisters who are out there on the road.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I only had one experience of being an official "couchsurfer" and that was in Bombay in India. Saurabh and Bhavna very graciously gave their home to us (me, Shiran and Mirco) for a few days. Not only that but they took us out to some of the best restaurants in Mumbai - and paid too. So thanks guys, it's appreciated. Perhaps now I have a flat of my own here in the Smoke you can come and be my guests (at last)!

Interests

Films. Photography (mainly photojournalism). Losing hours in the many secondhand bookshops on Charing Cross Rd. Enjoying Portobello Road and the mountains of weekend papers and coffee at weekends. World watching. People watching. Being in Devon with all the people I love. Being up North with my family and more people I love. Dancing and partying with a great bunch of mates at festivals in the summertime. Playing my guitar. Going barefoot. Bloody hippie.
