Hey, I’ve been travelling and working as an English teacher abroad for as long as I can remember now. I love endurance sports, learning languages and in general learning new skills. As a teacher, I’ve been working on strategies to help my teenage students stay motivated and the best way to do this is through example right? I’m originally from England but I’ve taught in Poland, Latvia and soon to be China. I love cycling and climbing mountains and have cycled the length of England and Scotland and climbed the highest mountain of numerous countries in Europe. I’m also from England and have a degree in mathematics which i hope makes me logically. The mathematics, not the England bit. Anyone who wants Brexit to happen isn’t very logical. However, then again, this is open to an open minded debate and I would consider myself open minded :).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet extraordinary human beings. Through my experiences I would like to apply these to becoming a host and I would like to host people on Shenzhen, China.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I left England to begin life as an English teacher in Poland and two years later I find myself going out to China to teach.

Teach, Learn, Share

As Gandhi said “when you speak you are only repeating what you already know but when you’re listening you may learn something new.” Life is all about give and take.
