About Me

Just back from 2 years in Ukraine, now in Norwich, a fine city, but full of Dragons???
in need of somewhere to crash for a while whilst i get sorted out with longer term accommodation.
(Camping is fun on holiday but not so much when in your home city)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on here since 2011 or so,
i am currently heading back to NORWICH.GB, (NOW BACK)
been hanging out with Norwegian friends in Keiv, Warsaw, G'dansk and other friends in Dortmund on way back.
been in Ukraine since 2013. (stayed with a friend in chernivtsi (6weeks)in exchange with helping with his website, on cleaning up his english translations) then: just stayed with a couple in chernivtsi for the last few days.
got invited to kiev by a friend, but hes in a hotel, my plans are variable to say the least, somehow i have to get back to the UK with less than 2000uah.
(just had to book into a overpriced hostel i cannot afford (cant believe it cost more than the ticket to kiev!)
{cant wait to get back to England and have to sleep on the streets...}
and no they are not paved with gold, they are more filthy then ukraines roads.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Been Bungee jumping. flew to south america on 9/11/01 for 40day trip, which felt more like a marathon at the time. also traveled in a Bus along the worlds most dangerous highway(with 300m sheer drop into a river on a road that wasnt wide enough for all wheel tyres to be on, ok that was three ;)
got across the Ukraine border without being arrested ;)
