CURRENT MISSION

Just moved to Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) for a new challenge

ABOUT ME

I recently moved to Malaysia from the UK to explore teaching English as a career. I'm an IT guy by trade (Web sites etc.) but my passion is music - I've played the piano for many years and I'll have a go on any instrument if I can. Simply put, I'm a broad minded, patient person who enjoys great company. I'll help if I can and I adhere to the motto, "treat others as you would be treated."

PHILOSOPHY

Honesty, good intentions, clarity of thought, smiling, happy thoughts, curiosity, analysis, perception. Treat other people nicely and with respect, regardless of pretty much everything except violence, bigotry and general ignorance/intolerance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well, I don't know about amazing, but moving to and living in different countries a few times is a good challenge and experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I only speak English but I'm slowly learning Mandarin, and 5 years of Spanish at school 15-20 years ago is probably in my head somewhere :-)

I love good music, I play the piano (and a bit of guitar) and always willing to teach. I know IT/Web stuff if something needs fixing/doing. I'm also a half-decent problem-solver in most situations.

I'll happily exchange ideas about the human condition - why do we do what we do?

Countries I’ve Visited

Thailand, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
