Hi, I'm John! I'm currently at that stage of life where I have the travel bug and want to get out and see the world, meet some cool people and just have fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

What better way to explore new places than by meeting locals! Would be nice to make some new friends, explore some new places, and I'm a very flexible person. If you want someone to hangout with I'd love to join, if you want your privacy and personal space, I'm good with that too! :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I moved to Colombia in 2023 to obtain the TESOL qualification (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). This was the first time I lived abroad, first time I worked with children, first time I learnt another language and was overall an amazing experience!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of English and happy to converse with you to improve your proficiency, and I'd like to think I could teach a little bit of chess or at least the basics haha! I'd also love to improve my Spanish skills!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach a bit of English and happy to converse with you to improve your proficiency, and I'd like to think I could teach a little bit of chess or at least the basics haha! If you want some company, I'd be happy to hangout, if you want some peace and quiet, I can do that too :)
