ABOUT ME

All about me? In this little box? Not likely! Here are some key points though:

Nice
Friendly
Likes a good cup of tea and farcical/philosophical discussion
Cooks a mean rhubarb crumble

PHILOSOPHY

I've not really yet found a succinct way of putting my philosophy. You can say that it is based on happiness, individuality, self-determination and responsibility, equality, sharing, all round respect, the simple joyous life to be engaged in and to be shared with others.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a couple of times a few years ago, but didn't have a home for a while. I'm back in the game now though, so please come and stay!

I've surfed a few times in various countries across Asia, and hung out with couchsurfers here and there.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted people before when I lived in London and stayed with Couchsurfers in India, Pakistan and Japan. You get a lot of people asking to couchsurf when you live in London!
