Overview
About Me
Hey I’m John! I try to base my life around art & culture, nature & exercise, eating & drinking and occasionally raving.
So if you’re looking for someone to stroll around a gallery, hike a questionable looking mountain path or just share a few drinks and some food, look no further.
When I’m not travelling I live in London with my partner where I work as a computer programmer (Although I like to believe I defy the programmer stereotypes a little).
Let’s be friends ✌️
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Life is better shared. As much as I love spending time on my own there’s nothing better than meeting new people and sharing new experiences together. Hopefully making some friends and connections to treasure along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books
Live bands in tiny bars and techno DJs in large warehouses.
I’m working my way through the cinematic classics so if you want to drink some wine, smoke some cigarettes and pretend we’re in a Godard film we can do that too.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I spent the past year living in Uzbekistan, highlights included:
- A 16 hour drive into the Pamir mountains to hike some of the most outrageously beautiful scenery.
- Chaperoning my partner to do their PHD research in a remote village. This mainly involved me drinking cheap vodka with farmers until they were drunk enough to be interviewed.
- 3 back to back weddings giving a speech at each, knowing only the Uzbek for ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ tough crowd…
Teach, Learn, Share
I can share with you my company, conversation and enthusiasm!
If for some reason you want to spend your holiday learning Java programming then I can tech you that 🫠
Please teach me something more practical like cooking or French 🙏
