Hello, I'm Chris. I'm from England but I currently live inTamil Nadu, India. I work as an engineer for a social business here, back home I vary between engineering and running a festival cafe called once in a blue moon. I'd like to think I'm a fun but relaxed person and (hopefully) an absolute please to stay with or to host!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on here to explore, experience other cultures and help people do the same.

Interests

Cooking (and eating!), playing music (mainly guitar but also flute, harmonica and piano), playing capoeira, football and basketball, philosophy and the sciences.

Music, Movies, and Books

Too many to list. Current book I'm reading is called 'the age of Kali' by William Daryimple. I love to read and always have (this partially explains why I wear glasses now!)

Teach, Learn, Share

I am always up for learning more about my hobbies (see above) and happy to teach as well. As a bit of a stickler for grammar, I sometimes find myself 'teaching' English to my international friends - much to their annoyance!
I have also taught guitar, capoeira and yoga - although only beginners level as I don't claim to be pro at any of these!
I love learning about new scientific discoveries and try to keep informed of new tech where I can, new developments in this are fascinating and I really believe that technology will help humanity solve some of the environmental problems we face :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Company, food, skills, experiences. Hopefully some stimulating conversation!
