Love to travel and see what the world has to offer, meet new people and try different experiences .
Often visit sporting events and like to do some sport/activity while travelling or more active type breaks. Into cities and getting stuck into the vibrancy and variety they offer. Increasingly into photography and capturing what I see.
Open minded and lively personality that likes to share culture and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people that introduces me into local life.
Have used a lot of airbnb and very used to shared type accommodation.

Music, Movies, and Books

Best movie of 2024 is All of Us Strangers. The sort of guy who appreciated both Barbie and Openheimer........
Last book read was 'Running with the Kenyans'.
Spend too much time reading current affairs, and not enough proper reading
Currently on 55 countries visited. Target to reach 60 by end of 2025
Trying to learn more and get better at photography and improve the insta account.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise, sunset and star gazing in the Atacama mountains and desert

Four Olympic Games in succession and three World Cups. Qatar was a great experience. Next stop Paris Olympics.

Watching the Whales dive off Sri Lanka

Got round the London Marathon, slowly, but made it......

Petra, Jordan is the most recent wow moment.

Teach, Learn, Share

Doing is learning and sharing. Let's:

Walk and see sights and walk and see sights.......
Watch an English football game?
Eat well and try something new
Sort out the world's problems (might need some time, sigh)
Go swimming or running or take time to hike
Play tennis?

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good company, many stories, opportunities to catch up in London.

Not on here specifically to save money = always happy to pick up the costs for good food and drinking/touring in return for nice accommodation and/or friendly company and tips on the best places to go through a local's eyes.
