Overview
About Me
I'm an NGO worker currently on sabbatical from my charity in the UK. I'm 33 and keen to expand my horizons and share some experiences with interesting people during my extended visit to S.E Asia.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I'm (M) 33 from London England and just finishing up my work in Cambodia and planning on travelling around Vietnam (1 month ish), Laos (3 weeks ish), Thailand (1 month-ish). My plans, are fluid but keen to explore parts of the region without just jumping from one hostel to the next. I really enjoyed my immersive experience in Phnom Penh and would love to recreate elsewhere with new people!
