If you are looking for a laid-back person to have a drink with, then look no further, mate! I'm a super-friendly, nerdy Englishman keen to explore.

A bit about me then; I'm a biotech journalist with a fondness for learning new languages, including Spanish, German and Chinese. I also love culture, music, science, geek culture, books, and playing the piano.

My favourite thing to talk about is the theme of my PhD project: tickling insects to see how they react :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
