Hi!

My name is Chris. I'm a keen traveler and I love living in different countries. I'm on couch surfing to try and meet local people so they can show me what their country is really like!

I'm was an English teacher in Beijing but I have also lived in Sweden before.

I lived in France for 3 months to study French, and now I'm travelling across Canada with a working holiday visa, but I'm pretty much in Montreal most of the time now!

My interests include; Fencing, lindy hop dancing, video games and movies

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want people to show me what a country is really like, while being a tourist is fun it can sometimes feel fake! I have done a lot of traveling by myself and sometimes it can get a bit boring. I really want to meet the locals and avoid all the tourist traps.

Tell me about yourself!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Currently living on the other side of the world from my home town, which is very strange to think back on. I would definitely do it all over again.

I've done other crazy things but I will save that for another time!

Teach, Learn, Share

I want to learn about the countries I am visiting, such as the traditions, customs and the food!

I like to bake from time to time, so I can make cinnamon rolls or cookies for you! I could also teach you some dancing or fencing if you want!

What I Can Share with Hosts

What I know about where I live and my past experiences.

I also love a good conversation and making new friends. My best friends are the ones I have met from different countries.
