ABOUT ME

Hi. I'm originally from Newcastle in the UK and back living here again after spending two years working as a teacher in an extremely fun elementary school in Seoul.

I like drinking tea (and lots of it). Cycling in the city. Board gaming. Football. Music, art and film. I love meeting new people and I'm a very easy going chap who is always up for trying new things.

I live about 20 minutes by metro from the centre of Newcastle.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would like to meet people with similar and completely different interests to me. In fact I like meeting new and interesting people generally.

I think Couchsurfing is a great way to experience the culture of a new place more directly and I really enjoy hanging out with others when I'm travelling.

Interests

I'm a big board gaming fan and I usually travel with at least one board or card game in my backpack.

I love cycling pretty much anywhere and would be a great cycling companion for anyone who wants one.

Football is a big passion of mine. I really like the English Premier League and European football generally and I'm a supporter of Newcastle United. It would be great to go to a football game with anyone who fancies it.

I enjoy going to live music events and especially those of up and coming musicians or those playing in a local bar or small venue.

I'm a keen photographer and enjoy taking pictures of peoples activities in the cities.
