Hi, I'm Ed. I'm from the UK, and have been backpacking across Asia and Europe on the Silk Roads since March. My next destination is Venice!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to travel and see as much of the Silk Roads as I can, it'd be great to meet some local people that way and get more involved with local culture!

Interests

I love travelling and learning about different parts of the world, and learning new languages. When travelling I like to see as much of the local culture as I can

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm usually up for anything - but always up for sharing stories and cooking together! Also very happy to practise English French or Chinese with people who want to learn, or help with writing anything important
