About Me

Just a guy from London getting away from his big family and avoiding responsibility as the age old quarter century cliché goes! I've moved to New Zealand and want to get stuck into the working holiday visa - although there's far too much to see out here to want to get back to work just yet.

I tend not to plan anything too far in advance, like to take things pretty easy and roll with whatever hand I'm dealt, which usually leads to a lot of fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm keen to get out there and start meeting people again to see where I end up. So if you're up for chatting about anything and everything over a few beers, grabbing some grub (sometimes the less conventional the better, but who can turn down a burger?) let's see what happens!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Took part in a fire show in Singapore on my second day of travel. "Ate" fire and got embarrassed in front of strangers, but still had a blast!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a TEFL qualification to teach English as a foreign language and although I haven't officially used it yet I'd be more than willing to help out any would-be learners and work on perfecting the perfect cockney or faux posh English accent, whichever you'd prefer!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm up for sharing stories, travel tips and all of that. I'm up for a few beers and eating good food too, but I can also cook some pretty decent dishes myself if you're willing to take the chance!
I love my sports as well, particularly football and West Ham Utd. I've discovered a new interest in rock climbing and diving, but I'm up for getting involved in whatever breaks a sweat.
