CURRENT MISSION

To see chimps in the wild...and, er, a few other things too

ABOUT ME

Me? Oh, there's not much to say. I grew up just outside London, went to university several years ago, and now I'm working for a charity.

I'm just ticking on by in London Town but I know there's a big global village out there and I need to see a bit of it. Starting now.

Oh, if the site says my location is outside London, ignore it; that's just my internet exchange. I promise I'm in Camden.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Um, I've met up with several CSers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted and surfed and have never had a bad experience.

Interests

Primates (especially bonobos and chimpanzees), mod culture, music, cooking (I'm getting better) and drinking (quite good at it). If I could find a chimp that could play the guitar and cook, I'd die a happy man.

Also quite like writing, playing music, film and laughing.

Films: An American Werewolf In London, Don't Look Now, The Wicker Man, the Three Colours trilogy, anything by Almodóvar, Amores Perros, Band of Brothers, Bertrand Blier's stuff...all sorts.
