My name is Jonathan and I am a podiatrist living in Durham, UK, but my heart and head belong in Melbourne, Australia.

I'm sure others would describe me as laid-back. I am equally happy to be hanging out with friends or sitting studying with my headphones on.

A man much better than me once said, "life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." I like those words.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm available mostly any time to go for a coffee or a drink in Durham and it would be lovely to meet you.

Interests

My interests include taking it easy and sleeping in my friend's beds.

I listen to a lot of music and I watch a lot of films.

I am currently in gym mode!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Toy Story 3.

Music:
Lots and lots of ambient/post-rock, as well as music of the good old punk/ska variety.

Books: The last great book I read was 'The Hepatitis Bathtub (and other stories!)' by NOFX. My favourite book of all time is Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen the Northern Lights in Iceland. I can pretty much die happy now.

I've seen loads of amazing videos of kittens on YouTube as well.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an avid amateur cook and I fancy myself a bit in the kitchen. I could teach you one of my 'go-to' dishes that I use to impress people if you ask nicely!

I am a fully qualified Level 3 Gym Instructor and I can offer you some hints and tips on exercise if you'd like.

If you're learning English, I'm a qualified TEFL instructor. I might be able to offer a few pointers.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can cook, clean, do the washing, walk the dog... If you've got anything heavy you need moving, give me a shout and I'll see if I can't help.

I can recommend a decent film or two as well.
