I’m a British guy, working in Shanghai as a P.E. teacher. I’ve lived in China for almost 2.5 years. I’m fortunate that my job allows me a lot of free time to travel. So for 3/4 months of the year I’ll often be somewhere else around the world. In the meantime, when I’m working I love to spend my free time meeting new people, going out for dinner and drinks, playing sports and making the most of the amazing city I live in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To hopefully meet interesting and likeminded people, and to make more connections around the World.

Music, Movies, and Books

I’m equally happy to go to a big event at a popular club, or sit in a chilled out beach bar, listening to a man with his guitar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Midnight spear fishing in Fiji was pretty special

Teach, Learn, Share

I can speak a decent level of Mandarin. I’m also a qualified Personal Trainer so I’m always happy to share my knowledge about health and fitness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My knowledge of living in Shanghai as a ‘foreigner’, most notably the places most tourists don’t know about.
