CURRENT MISSION

Help people around the world

ABOUT ME

I am an avid traveller and always feel restless being in one place for a long period of time. I thirst for travel round the world, but only if it is of benefit to whom I travel towards. I prefer to work in a country rather than treat it as a party playground. I think it is our responsibility to travel responsibly, environmentally and socially.

PHILOSOPHY

Live without prejudice or ignorance; Trust in one another and ourselves; Forget stifling rules of convention; Be creative and open-minded in what we choose to do with our time.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a whole lot and surfed a whole lot! Haven't hosted for a long while thoughr, not since I moved out of London. So want to do that whole hosting thing again. I surfed through USA for about 7 weeks which was pretty awesome and done some surfing in continental Europe too. I once wrote an article for a Liverpool based magazine on the joys of Couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

In Paris, Amsterdam, Zagreb & Ljubljana in Europe, and Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and Austin in USA. All very positive. It can be awkward very occasionally but pretty much only in the sense of the surfer being quite reliant on the host sometimes.
