Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Experience local culture and ways. I‘d like to really visit a country and perhaps travel the less travelled path, appreciating a host of different culture, people and delicacies along the way.

Music, Movies, and Books

I particularly enjoy listening to music, its a big interest of mine. Eclectic music taste, I’m not fussy. Depends on the mood!

When I find the time, I enjoy reading classics and biographies/biopics.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Motorcycled 3200km from the extreme north of Vietnam down to HCM/Saigon.

Teach, Learn, Share

Particularly interested in learning *sensitively and considerately* about the politics of each country I visit. Since travelling, I've also engaged in more topical debate, such as the ethics of travelling, which I am keen to discuss both with hosts and other travellers.
Generally I‘m always trying to read and looking to learn more/further my knowledge. Though I can say my days in official academia are over!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully one day the favour can be returned, I look forward to being able to welcome guests to London upon my return.
