About Me

Well isn't this an awesome site and such amazing people giving up there home for travellers .I'm a 34 yr old decent lad from a small city in the south of Wales. I am currently in penang, Malaysia having been to New Zealand for 5 months, Fiji for a month, Australia, 6 months, bali 2 weeks and Singapore a week. I am going to be travelling for another 6 months in south east Asia.

I have been a practising social worker for over 4 years working with older people and decide to travel the world . I got on this site as it will be cool to get to know the locals and there cultures as they know where the best places to go and if your a host it's very likely that your a really cool person that will enhance my time here.
My main aim is to see beautiful things, enjoy local food and make great friends and experiences. I have trained in counselling and also am a big believer in mindlefulness and what it can do to help those with depression or anxiety. (It helped me)
Although I'm only 34 I suppose I have done some cool things and different experiences I have lived in Spain and France, I have worked in America for two seasons doing football/soccer coaching.
I'd love to become involved in what the host is doing, whatever that might be. I like walking or outdoor activities.
I understand how hard it must be to open up your home to strangers and understand how important it is for me to repay that faith by being a good guest.
I read all the hosts profiles as Its important to know the person you are living with, no one has said they are a serial killer yet or disclosed any freaky stuff so that's good.
Also, no worries if you can't host me I understand that your inundated and might want to spend some time to yourself in your own home.

SOOOO... why would you want me to stay well I have good life experience, i'm fun, have that dark British sarcasm, am open minded and will try most things once, I am open to helping out round the house.
If u look at my photos I have an enhanced crb which
atleast tells u that I have I have a completely clean criminal record and a council for wales registrations as a social worker which will atleast reassure hosts that I am not a bad egg. I love animals and taking them for a run and spoiling them. Other than that I am a nice person and one that is willing to help out.
Thanks for reading and hope to see you sometime soon in the future 👌🏻p.s if you ever come to wales will definitely be helping people Couchsurf in the future to return the generosity shown to me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Treat others as you expect to be treated yourself. Experiences mean more than possessions to me. As you grow older you realise how important family and friends are to you.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my pleasant attitude and be as helpful as I can around the house. I am a Social worker and have counselling education. I had anxiety issues and remedied them through mindfulness life changes.
