Hi, my name is Matthew, I am 29 years old and from the north of England. I have spent the last three years living in South Korea teaching English. Now I'm looking for the next adventure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am going to be traveling in Cuba and South America this year and I really want to get to know some people that live in the places I'll be visiting. If you have a couch that I could sleep on for a night or two, that would be good. If you could recommend some places to see, that would be great. If you have some free time and you could show me around, that would be fantastic :)
