About Me

I am a easy going, open minded guy who's interested in travelling and seeing as much as I can before I have to join the "adult" world. I originally come from Shropshire, which is a small, rural county in England - and I moved to Sheffield to study film and I enjoyed the many different people I met whilst there. I am currently teaching English at an elementary school in Wando, in South Korea.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because whilst I've been travelling solo for a short time (other times I've traveled have been with family) - I would like the opportunity to make new friends and learn about other cultures and other nations. The idea of a Couchsurfing interests me because I am looking for someone to try some unique food with, have cultural exchange and play some beer pong with.
