CURRENT MISSION

Intergalactic domination and if that fails, my mission is to travel to as many countries as possible and get a flavour of each place. Obviously it's important not to forget your roots but after 25 years in England I decided to travel and it was the best decision of my life.

I've spent the last 4 years working and travelling Australia and New Zealand where I met some lifelong friends. I then decided to move to Germany where I spent 6 months living, working and travelling (Flixbus, Blabla Car). My German is intermediate level and I absolutely love the country. The people, the food, the sights, it really is a boss country. I've since returned to NZ and now live and work in Christchurch.

ABOUT ME

Recently turned 30 (insert optimistic face), born and raised in Liverpool. Most people can't understand my scouse accent at first and mistake me for Irish but i've grown to accept it and have learnt to talk a bit slower and more clearly.

Town planner by trade but i've done a multitude of jobs over the past 10 years to pay my way through uni and of course to pay for travels - work to live!!!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help people with understanding the regional accents of England (of which there are many) :). I can also make a mean English breakfast.

I also really like to share musical interests as there is so much music out there that I haven't heard yet.

I'm a friendly, chatty lad with a good sense of humour and i'm just looking for like-minded individuals who are trying to get the most out of life!
