Hello earthlings.

My name’s George and I come from a oddly shaped rainy island called the YooKay. After studying social policy and spending a couple of years working in the education and charity sector in London I decided to leave and take a different route in life! So I set back off on the road, this time to learn about permaculture and organic farming. It’s been a wisdom-filled trip so far through India and Nepal. I’ve spent a lot of time doing things such as spreading cow manure into vegetable beds and discussing the germination rates of different varieties of carrot, so pretty much the opposite of my life a year ago. And it’s been great.

My style of travelling is pretty stripped back - hitchhiking, camping. I love unexpected situations and getting precious glimpses into how other cultures live. I’ve taken a few trips in the past which have been very life altering and character building, and I hope to take a good few more and share the fun times with other people like you, yes you.

I’m always keen to meet new people but also more than happy to hang out on my own.

Let’s do cool stuff.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
