Hi guys!

My name is Sam.

I am currently teacher in an international school in Germany but will be returning to London after summer '16.

I am cycling the Atlantic Coast this summer from Miami to NYC. I am mainly looking for tent space if you have a yard or garden I can pitch my tent in. Of course, staying over is great too, but if you can only offer me a garden that will help me a lot.

Currently live in Southend.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Plenty. This idea works really well. Most of my CS experience has been as a guest because I like to spend a day or two with real local people rather than in hotels. I like hostels as a base, but I don't think you can beat doing as the locals do.

I have met a few people, some showed me their cities, one let me stay with her for a few nights in some outback Russian town.

Interests

Bit of a chess geek; Kung Fu; cycling; playing football (badly); reading. I love cycling around Europe and the USA. I have cycled through Germany, the Austrian Alps, the Danube and from San Francisco to LA last easter.
