About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a freelance, location independent translator. This means that I can, and do, work from wherever I want in the world. The only things I need are my computer and a good internet connection. I tend to live in places for a few months at least to understand them better, get to know the people and learn the local language.

Before I built up the location independent lifestyle, I worked as a language teacher in various places across the globe (which is why I've lived in so many places).

ABOUT ME

I love life, give me more!

PHILOSOPHY

Whoever's learnt the most languages before they die, wins!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've actively joined lots of CS meet ups, and had a good time doing it.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Friends of mine have done it before and they loved it. I just feel after I all I've done it's about time I started giving something back to the community

Interests

Travelling, reading, partying, meeting and inspiring new people, learn weird and wonderful new languages

Music, Movies, and Books

It's just a shame there never seems to be enough time to read everything you want to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In particular I love trips that go wrong... badly wrong. It's when this happens that we can laugh and they can stay with us forever.

What's more, life is amazing! When we meet up we can share our experiences.

Teach, Learn, Share

My personal experience, a love of cooking and eating and my knowledge of language learning and history.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My wife is also on Couchsurfing. We live and host together:
