I grew up in England but now I'm living in Vietnam and teaching English. I was a chemical engineer but I made a big change in my life and now I'm here. I like travelling and exploring and I'm trying to visit lots of new places. The backpacker/hostel life was fun for a while but now I'm interested in staying a bit longer and getting to know the area and the people where I stay.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I love learning some useful phrases, and I can help with English. I always want to practise my Vietnamese, and I'm drawing quite a lot at the moment so perhaps I can share that, although I still consider myself a beginner. I'm a bit rusty but I can probably teach you a thing or two about Smash Bros. or Soul Calibur :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share some conversation and interesting topics, and I'm not a bad cook. I can help keep the place tidy.
