Overview
About Me
Hi! Im Manu, a doctor from the UK. Currently travelling through Canada and USA with my buddy Tom. We've always wanted to do a good old fashioned American Road trip! It's my first time stateside and hoping to see some beautiful sights and meet some wonderful people. 😊
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
As I'm travelling I'm after a more authentic experience of the place im in. A place is nothing without the people, couchsurfing offers a chance to meet local folks to expand ones social diameter. I also believe an exchange in favours builds far better connections than an exchange in money. Couchsurfing, unlike other accommodation, seems to adopt this philosophy beautifully.
Interests
Getting to know new people through the mediums of coffee, food and alcohol is my greatest pleasure. I'm a good listener, with a few top stories of my own to tell. Festivals have been a wonderful avenue for this and I look forward to experiencing what Canada and USA have to offer!
I'm a keen cook and have a constant instinct to want to feed people! Back home I love hosting guests for dinner, parties and everything in between. If you put me up, you WILL get fed! 👍

Music, Movies, and Books
Favourite book would be 1984 by George Orwell. Favourite films: The Departed, Godfather I+II, most if Tarantino. Music: The Beatles, Pink Floyd are a must. Modern + classic psychedelia goes down well with me as well as funk and soul. Sometimes you've just got to shake your groove thaaang.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Drift diving in Indonesia which involved Flying through a vibrant, exotic underworld civilisation.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can alleviate you're queries regarding the quirks of the human body, as well as teach you some basic Arabic.
Thing to learn yoga. it's been on my to do list for ages and I've never just gone for it.
There are few things better than sharing a drink and exchanging perspectives 🍻.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm more than happy to cook and clean. Homemade humous is somewhat of a specialty of mine. I can also offer fun medical stories and some really gross ones if that kind of thing takes your fancy!
