CURRENT MISSION

Taking some time off from teaching to explore Europe and new possibilities.

ABOUT ME

I am an independent and creative individual with a thirst for adventure. I love meeting and learning from new people about their own personal philosophies and sharing stories over a meal, a cup of tea or a beer/glass of wine.

For the last 6 years I've been teaching English and travelling around the world. I've taught in Chile, Portugal, Japan and the UK and along the way met some cool and interesting people, saw some beautiful places and had some amazing experiences.

I love to travel and have spent time in the Americas ( from Canada down to Patagonia), South East Asia, Europe and New Zealand. My most recent trip took me on a road trip across the USA. I bought an old Ford pick up truck, fixed it up and converted it into a camper and hit the road for 6 months.

My experience with couchsurfing has been great and I've really enjoyed the communal spirit of couchsurfing! It's a fantastic way to broaden your horizons by meeting and sharing with friends of the road. I'm laid back and easy going and happy to sleep on anything from a bed, a couch to the floor 😎

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
