CURRENT MISSION

To immerse myself in all things Cornwall

ABOUT ME

I'm a happy go lucky sort of guy and have been fortunate enough to experience the decent side of life these last few years after travelling a fair bit and living overseas. I've recently returned home to breathtaking Cornwall and I'm now enjoying all the benefits of living in a beautiful spot by the ocean along with heaps of great, arty, outdoorsy, fun lovin' types. I teach literature and language in a high school and spend much of my free time looking for adventure in the form of rock climbing, surfing and anything else that catches my eye. I'm pretty easy going, love to meet new people and have an eye for the good times and people who keep the world spinning in a happy direction. If you're keen to come and experience some Kernowfornia living, then hit me up and I'd be happy to host you. (:

PHILOSOPHY

Life' s just a ride. I live to have fun and find adventure! If I can pass on some knowledge that will leave the world a better place once I'm gone then it's a bonus.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Aside from spreading the couchsurfing message, I love to host and surf new couches in new places.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Surfed couches in New Zealand and Japan and have also met a good few fellow couchsurfers along my way; I've hosted surfers from Japan, China, Canada, the U.S, Germany, South Africa, the U.K, France and Norway. So often I've found myself at the receiving end of warm and hospitable people, from friendly families in New Zealand offering a weary traveller a warm bed and shower for a few days, to new friends in new places that took the time to show me around their homes and give me a place to stay. I hope CS will help me meet many more colourful people from around the world.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

In 2009 I set off from London on a six month trip, backpacking across North America, New Zealand, Australia, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia, Burma and India. It was an experience that will always stay with me, it brought me into contact with new and fascinating cultures and breathtaking scenery while giving me the opportunity to build new and lasting friendships with people from all over the world.

From 2009 to 2011 I taught English as a foreign language in Korea, teaching in various elementary schools. Living in a foreign country has been among the most rewarding experiences of my life, giving me international work experience and helping me to grow, learn and engage with customs and traditions outside of what I grew up with.

From August 2015 to August 2017 I taught at an international school in Yangon, Burma.

教，学，和分享

It'd be great to get you out in the water for a surf, swim or some cliff jumping, or if you're keen to climb we could check out some of Cornwall's big, granite sea cliffs. It's a good pace of life down here in 'Kernowofinia' so we'd find plenty of fun things to do.

UPDATE: I'm currently living in Yangon so I could show you around the city and nearby areas, especially if you're keen to ride motorbikes or mountain bikes. There's lots to see!
