I'm Johnny from Manchester in the UK. I worked in accounts for ten years before deciding to quit my job and travel the world! I will be visiting Argentina, all the way down to Ushuaia, up through Chile, into Bolivia, Perú, Ecuador and Colombia. Then into Central America, Panama, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras and México.

I don't intend to only be a sightseer, I want to learn about other cultures, get to know locals and the places that I'm visiting.

I'm a relaxed, easy-going, open-minded and friendly guy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet local people. I think it's the only way to truly experience the culture of a country.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job, left my house, sold my belongings, packed a bag and got on a plane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am willing to learn anything. I can play the guitar and used to be in a punk rock band in Manchester. I'm not an expert, but we did once finish second in a battle of the bands competition where the first prize was to open for Bon Jovi at the Manchester City stadium. So close!
