About Me

Half Thai, half English. Newly qualified teacher living in home town of Luton. Happy to offer advice on England, Thailand, Melbourne and anywhere else I've been :D

I'm a pretty chill guy just looking for a good time with good people.
I graduated a few years ago with a degree in Computer Games Design, worked for a year to save up and have been in Australia since Feb 14. Originally from Luton, England.

Current mission:
Complete my NQT year...

"Carpe that fucking diem"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it provides a way to meet like minded people who are interested in the same things and have similar interests and ambitions. As well, having the chance to stay with a local or at least someone who lives in the area is amazing and probably one of the best ways to get the most authentic experience. I wanna know about your favourite pub, cafe or spot to chill. Tell me about places you like to go, where to get the best local grub/street food/drinks and I'll do the same :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Mainly electronically produced music, dnb, dubstep, ambient, chillout, house etc etc. Favourite producer is Feed Me. But I listen to a bit of everything (hate saying it that but it's true). Honestly from classic rock, tech metal to folk and piano pieces.
Gladiator, Good, Bad and the Ugly, Wedding Crashers, Leon, Into the Wild. Usually thrillers or thought provoking films but I'm a sucker for Disney and animated films too.
Great Expectations, Treasure Island, Harry Potter.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiked to and from a rave in the mountains, Mt Blanc, France.
Fed crocodiles before, that was pretty cool.
1000KM road trip round North Thailand with my two amibros was one of the best experiences of my life.
Riding from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi over a month with a new friend and kayaking in Bai Tu Long bay.
Everest base camp 1

Teach, Learn, Share

Always keen to learn, see do or hear new things. Come at me bro.
