Overview
About Me
Former EFL instructor in Korea turn 11-18 science teacher in London. Interested in biological sciences, health and fitness. Loves travelling, culture, good food and great people.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
First Coachsurfed in spring '15 while backpacking and had the pleasure of staying with some amazing hosts who I hope to see again someday soon. I've travelled a lot of Asia over the last few years, made countless friends and shared so many unforgettable experiences. Now I'm back 'home' I want to repay the kindness I've received on the road.

Music, Movies, and Books
I'm pretty mainstream yet eclectic when it comes to music and movies.
I'm a pop-science reader, when I'm motivated.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Moved the other side of the world to teach English in rural Korea. I'd recommend anyone considering a change to live in a foreign culture - it's both extremely challenging and rewarding. I've built lifelong relationships by overcoming the language barrier and opening my perspective.
Teach, Learn, Share
Always love to share experiences and/or travel tips with fellow wanderlusters - that's the difference between a great trip and a fantastic one.
What I Can Share with Hosts
Well used to travelling alone and doing my own thing/making new friends along the way. I can get in your way as much or as little as you'd like. I'm pretty good at discovering things for myself.
