Hey. I’m Jon, I’m 28 and I’m from london. I like to think I’m a chilled out and open guy who enjoys meeting people, exchanging stories and occasionally being a bit of an idiot. I’m super interested in learning about other countries cultures and history. I’m making my way through Europe without much of a plan but I’d like to think that I’ll be able to make it to my final goal of Istanbul.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This seems like a really good way to meet people in their natural environment. I’d like to meet up with people and see their view of their city, hear their stories.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to the shaolin temple in Beijing back in the 90’s to bring a monk back to the uk ( I was a kid at the time so I didn’t actually do much but I was there, so that was pretty cool)
I’ve spent a lot of time in Italy, travelling through the Tuscan hills.
I Toured japan with a couple of friends for a while.
Managed to blag my way into working on a major Netflix series without any sort of experience or qualification
Quit my job to ponce through Europe with any sort of plan or definite way of getting home (still haven’t decided if that was amazing or stupid)
Oh it said one thing... shit

I grew up in Italian restaurant so I like to think I’m pretty good with Italian food. I know mantis Kung fu, I’d be happy to run you through the basics.
