Professional freelance international teacher.

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

Happy to help and accommodate people travelling round on foot, by bike, motorbike, etc. I like to hear other people's playlists, and swap information on good places to go.

Musica, film e libri

Books: Mostly travel books, all time favourite is 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance'.

Una cosa incredibile che ho fatto

Doing a Science teacher training course in Sudan, and the translator didn't turn up. I had 30 people who had come in by bus from all over for this, one of them with her 2 small children. After a short panic I managed to handle the first 30 minutes speaking only Arabic, and everyone understood me. Then fortunately the translator arrived. Bit of a baptism of fire.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I teach for living, so it's sort of in my nature. But if you come on a bicycle, I can probably teach you something about bicycle maintenance as I'm a mechanic. I like learning languages and making curries.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

Experiences, and mechanical expertise and local sights.

Paesi in cui ho vissuto
