CURRENT MISSION

Going out to Spain for a year to teach english. So current mission is to get ready for that!

ABOUT ME

Hi Everybody! I'm a friendly Welshman who enjoys learning new languages, travelling and encountering new cultures. I much prefer to travel organically through couch surfing and look forward to meeting some interesting people along the way and showing and seeing different parts of the world from a local's perspective!

PHILOSOPHY

Don't overthink things. Take things one step at a time and don't take yourself too seriously!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

1. Spending a year in Lausanne and waking up to see Lake Geneva every morning.
2. Travelling to Istanbul. Having initially expected chaos in all the streets and markets, I was initially disappointed. Going to watch a live UEFA League qualifying match between Galatasaray and a small Israeli team and experiencing the passion and energy of the fans for a relatively small game gave me the experience of Istanbul I had wanted.
3. Hiking through Snowdonia National Park in North Wales and appreciating the great natural beauty.

Teach, Learn, Share

First of all - great idea!

1. I think the CS network is a great way of learning languages, something I can participate in.
2. Can teach up to degree-level physics!
