Currently road tripping western Canada in my converted Mitsubishi Delica van with my best mate from London 🚐🇨🇦 I have lived in Timor-Leste in Southeast Asia helping to run a coffee plantation for around 3 years. I can speak the native Timorese language, Tetum. I am from East London but have lived around southern and central England, Brighton is my favorite place in England. I moved to Canada and have taught skiing in BC and Quebec. I lived in Malta for one year and hosted a lot of couchsurfers. I had the most amazing experiences in Malta and would recommend it to anyone. I live in Tofino and spend most of my time surfing or camping

Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I would like to continue couchsurfing as an alternative to hostels and airbnb. I like to use it not simply as a place to stay whilst traveling but to meet new friends and experience the places through the lives of the locals. I have hosted couchsurfers in Quebec and Malta. Would like to say I am somewhat experienced now as a surfer. I have couchsurfed in Southeast Asia, Europe and North America, One time staying in a house with about 30 other couchsurfers in Vancouver

My Interests
I have tattoos from some of the places I have traveled. I like geography, flags and maps. Of course, I am interested in skiing and coffee. I like to backpack by hitch hiking when I get the chance. I also try and do urban exploration and I’m interested in doing more. I’m currently going hiking and camping more, and learning to snowboard and surf
