About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do more, learn more, enjoy more

ABOUT ME

In no particular order, I:
- spend more time upside-down than most
- am vegetarian, mainly through habit
- can read for days non-stop, on the rare occasion I get the chance
- wish someone would hurry up and build a lunar base, so I can go visit
- can introduce you to most of the best cocktail bars in London
- seem to enjoy sleeping more with each passing year
- would rather hear your opinion than tell you mine.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Met some good friends through it, usually by finding people to hang out with while travelling. Used to go to London events quite a bit, not so much now. Hosted for a short while while the flat had a spare room, will do so again when there's a chance.

Interests

People, places, languages. Juggling, tumbling and other circus skills. Travelling. Fine food, fine drink and fine company.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I could describe walking through cloud forest in the Andes, or descending into a volcano in Iceland, or watching the monsoon break over Pune in India. But the bits of my travels that really stand out are the unexpected moments, the things that were never part of any schedule: friends met on a long train journey, accommodation that turns out to be hilariously bad, picking wild fruit in the middle of a road trip to nowhere.
