About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Try everything at least once.
ABOUT ME
I hate writing these things. I'm an English teacher from Shropshire in England and I'm on a slow world tour. So far 8 years and some countries. I'm easy-going and relaxed. I enjoy meeting new people and trying new things. All very standard stuff. If you want to know more ask!
PHILOSOPHY
Be Good & Have Fun. More to follow.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I host when I have a couch, I surf occasionally. I'm always happy to meet up and show people around.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I've been very fortunate with this whole thing.
All of my encounters have been brilliant. I cant remember whose profile I read this on but I'm going to steal it; I might just have been lucky but I think it's more to do with the people who go in for this.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
A pretty amazing thing I have done is to get a class of 9 very conservative, proper Polish ladies of "a certain age" to march around the classroom making animal noises and doing impressions. May not sound that great but you should have seen them at the start of the year.
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm an English teacher. I can teach English. Also maybe a little on teaching itself.
Currently the main thing I'm failing to learn is Serbian.
