I finally achieved my dream of becoming a vagabond :) Shame about that other dream involving maths...

The plan now is to travel full time while doing some online work to keep me going.

Currently I'm back in Arnside, happy to receive requests :)

In the shell of a nut I ...

... live for food and beer
... am a collosal, collosal nerd
... am trying to end my prejudice by meeting everyone and experiencing everything!

p.s. please help me paint this ⬇️ map red!

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

Surfing:

I tend to travel alone so it's about the social side of things. My best memories are times spent with people and quite a lot of them were from CS!

Hosting:

I like to decorate life with interesting little encounters and hosting gives me the chance!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Been human - which admittedly isn't that amazing for you other humans but I'm pretty excited about it :)

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

Maths? ... No? Well it was worth an ask. I'm happy to talk about anything, but I guess I could give some advice about travel in the UK, especially the Lake District, Manchester and Coventry -although for Coventry the best advice is to avoid the place :9

Outside the UK these are the places I've been so far:

I love learning so whatever you've got an interest in, I'd love to find out more :) If you've got an open mind and some risky opinions you wanna discuss then lets challenge our ideas! Sometimes a bit of debate is a great way to learn.

As for sharing, I would love to know your favourite books, musicians or movies from your country?

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I love cooking and sharing food and beer with good company. I genuinely like household stuff too, like washing dishes and cleaning, please please please let me do some 🙏

I know, great right, but wait there's more :0

- you can have a go on my drone!

- Cup of genuine English tea hmm..

- I can show you how to make a hexaflexagon!

- we can boost our world music tastes with a spotify blend!

- I have a tent, mat and sleeping bag, no laundry required!

- The tent is 3-man so we could go camping!
