I'm John and I'm from York, UK.

I'm currently studying Management at the University of Leeds.

Before starting uni, I had a gap year where I travelled and worked. My biggest adventure so far was cycling from Russia back home to England with a friend. I've also backpacked in SE Asia.

Most of my hobbies are sports based- cycling, kayaking, skiing and football. I also ride a motorbike and love travelling of course!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Teach, Learn, Share

I've worked in a bike shop for 3 years so can help with any broken bikes! Also happy to help anyone learning English.

I'd love to learn about different cultures and pick up bits of other languages. Maybe even learn to cook some local food.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Practice your English, share great stories and have a good time!
