Hello, my name's Chris, or Christopher, I don't mind which. I'm from London. I like laughing, talking, learning, experiencing and sharing. I'm a writer and I've travelled a lot, so I have plenty of stories to tell, if I can find someone to listen :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard from fellow travellers on a budget, that this is a great way to move around and meet cool people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to folk music and try to hear anything traditional that represents the country I'm visiting.
I'm learning to speak French, so my translator is the only thing I'm reading right now!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once was held hostage by an Orangutan in Sumatra. Photographic evidence on request!

Teach, Learn, Share

My work back home is in construction, so I can be very useful if you have small jobs that need taking care of, or if you just need some good honest advice for larger projects.
I also write plays and poetry (I have a degree in Creative Writing), and I would be happy to share my ideas/words with anyone.
And of course, if someone is learning English, or wants to practice... I'm from London :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

It's all on offer. Take what you can.
