ABOUT ME

I'm a writer and filmmaker living in London. I am married to a wonderful girl who has somehow overlooked all my failings and finds me charming and lovable.

PHILOSOPHY

He who bears the torch gives light to everyone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I surf when I travel and I try to host as much as possible, circumstances permitting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was homeless in LA when I was 17 and spent a very fruitful (and hazy) six weeks surfing couch in Venice Beach. I've hosted couch surfers in the past, from friends who needed a pad to travel buddies who came to London for a few nights. I got the opportunity to surf some couch in Armenia and Latvia as well. This community has some wonderful people tucked away in some unexpected places!
