I’m an English man who has been living and working in China the past twelve years. This has given me lots of opportunity to expand my knowledge and cultural experiences as well as travel throughout Asia.

I’m easy going and a good listener, and would say I know a little about a lot (a fox rather than a hedgehog). I think that the more I travel, the less I know...travel humbles you in that it reveals how little you actually know.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet other people who have something to say and learn from ✌🏼

Interests

My hobbies are cooking and I like to read non-fiction books. A big football fan as well interested in trying new food and drink. I’m a bit of nerd in that like science-based theories and empirical evidence rather than blind faith.

• psychology
• beaches
• travelling
• cooking and eating
• football soccer

Music, Movies, and Books

The Smtihs, The Cure, most 80s; Many of the Bobs (esp Marley, Dylan); Charlatans; Bossanova; psychology and business books

The Big Lebowski; Trainspotting; The Wire; Breaking Bad; Alan Partridge and The Mighty Boosh. Prefer more realistic movies ... I hate soppy happy endings in movies 😁
