Hi,
My name is Francis McGinley.
I am a primary school teacher in Manchester England, who has taken a year out to travel the world.
I am currently doing a year away with my partner Charlotte who is a product developer for a retail company in England.
We have travelled many parts of the world using word of mouth, Airbnb, hotels and knocking at people's doors.
We love the idea of coach surfing so we're setting off on a year long excursion hopefully using coach surfing.
We are both extremely social, sport and love our food.
We look forward to meet you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We are coach surfing to meet amazing local people, but most importantly to live like a local, hear and learn from different people of different backgrounds/cultures.

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach children aged between 4-11 years of age and have great fun learning different ways to communicate, engage them or just generate enthusiasm for them to want to learn.
