CURRENT MISSION

To keep on learning and living.

ABOUT ME

I'd like to think I'm friendly, curious (intellectually and generally) and open-minded. I'm told I'm very determined, too. And I'm absolutely passionate about fishing!

PHILOSOPHY

A work in progress, best discussed over a drink...!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm always very happy to show people around London or to meet for a coffee or drinks.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've couchsurfed in China (mainly Chengdu), Greece (on a beautiful island called Icaria) and Turkey (notably Istanbul). The best way to see the local side of life - good times.

I'm very interested in (and concerned by) environmental issues (particularly those relating to fisheries and water scarcity). I'm also a passionate fishermen. Other interests - film and photography, reading, squash, tennis and travelling (of course).
