British couple (Jack & Sophie), just set off on our travels - starting in South East India, Chennai. Trying to escape the reality of growing older and becoming adults.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Hoping to meet new friends and gain a more "native" experience of wherever we are. Local people know so much more about the culture and area than any online blog or travel book could ever give us.

Music, Movies, and Books

Sophies music, film and book knowledge is extensive to say the least.

and mine, quite the opposite. I can hum a tune, but couldn't for the life of me tell you any particular song. Saying that, I do enjoy music and film- although I struggle to concentrate through films longer than an hour and a half.

The worst film I've ever seen is War Horse and the best Tarzan - love a disney film.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Taught an 18 year old boy (one of our old students) how to read, write and tell the time - thus giving him his independence, in what can be a scary world without.

^we both worked with the young man in question.

Teach, Learn, Share

Both teachers, having just left our jobs to start travelling.

Share a passion for teaching and giving those who haven't had the opportunity to, a chance to be themselves & express their individuality.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A passion for current affairs, politics, education (I'd promise not to bore you with any of them)

Generally fun, laid back people who are looking to share ideas, thoughts and experiences with others.

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, France, Germany, India, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Scotland, Slovenia, Spain, United States
