About Me

I cannot host as I am traveling by bicycle around the world.
I set off from home in England at the end of July with no time limit. I hope to see as much of the world as I can.
My friends think I am Kind, Generous, Funny and Friendly. At least that is what I hope they would say.

I have done a lot of cycling in the last ten years including seven months crom Bangkok to Beijing as well as numerous trips on road and mountain bike all over Europe.

PHILOSOPHY
Give everyone the benefit of the doubt. Treat them as you would like to be treated.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I initialy joined Couchsurfing in order to find like minded people who were willing to show me around their towns and to help me find places to stay.
I also enjoy showing people around my local area and explaining the history.
But there is so much more to do than that.
There are so many people traveling and hosting.
I cycle a lot and am grateful for the people willing to share their home and time with me.
A great idea
