About Me

Hi! I'm an online English teacher. I'm British, although I've spent my life moving around and I grew up in the Netherlands and Oman. I've spent the last 7 months in Greece, then Spain, then Poland, and now I'm living in Bangkok. I studied languages and translation at university, and I'm interested in all things language, as well as music and travelling amongst others. I'm a good guy, I like nice people and I like them even more if they're interesting. I have met some great people over my life, and hope to meet many more in the future. I think overall, my goal is to make the most of life, in all its forms and experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As I work exclusively online, I've decided to get out and see the world while I'm doing it, just because life is too short not to! I've heard so many great things about couch surfing, and I really want to make it a part of my experience. The idea of travelling cheaply while making new friends and having genuine experiences is so appealing to me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like a range of music, but the majority is guitar-based, varieties of rock and pop etc. I also like latin music, electronic music, and some classical music and jazz. At the moment I'm listening to: Iggy Pop, Avicii, Siouxsie & the Banshees, and Judas Priest.
As for movies and books, I enjoy fantasy, sci-fi, thrillers, documentaries and comedies.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm an English teacher, and am certainly more than happy to give some free tuition. I also have advanced Arabic and can teach you some if that's the kind of thing that floats your boat. Apart from languages, I love playing music, and so if I have my guitar with me (which I mostly do) then ask me for a song and I won't say no!

Overall, I'm a friendly person with a desire to see new things and get the best out of life! I'm not just looking for a place to stay, but to make new friends. Also, anything you want from the UK, let me know.
