About Me

I am an Englishman who's lived in Bangkok since 2004. I run my own business in the city and try to get to the beach most weekends. Pretty busy building up the company, but drop me a mail and let's see what we can figure out.

****I've just returned to c/s after a few years away as I didn't have space to host in my old apartment. However, I've noticed a sharp decline in the messages I've been receiving. All generic messages and seemingly spammed at everyone in the city. Please note that I will automatically delete any message that at the very least doesn't bother to replace the name in the copy/paste message. Happy to host cool people. If you're just looking for a cheap room there are plenty of hotels around for $10. Just google 'bangkok hostels'

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Host or meet up for drinks, give advice. When travelling usually try to meet some locals to get the insider perspective!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Met some incredible people on here, hosted some too. The people that you meet through couch surfing are, in my limited experience, different from the norm - in the best possible way! Inquisitive, adventurous and always up for a good time. Go Couch Surfing! Met a lot of great people travelling in Japan. Keen to travel again to meet more surfers, genuinely awesome, creative people every time!
