I'm a translator and beer brewer with aspirations to set up a micro-brewery in Leeds.

When I came to Leeds to study, I kept getting distracted and wandering off traveling in Asia. Now I've finally graduated and am quite happy living in Leeds for now, although I do still wander off from time to time...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to have real experiences with real people when I'm traveling, not just talk to a tour guide and take selfies in front of an impressive building. I like to understand the place I am visiting, and I think the only way to do that is to stay with local people and eat, drink and laugh together!

Interests

I enjoy cycle touring, wild camping and generally getting out there and enjoying nature. I also love music festivals, and spend much of the summer at small-ish festivals around the UK.

Teach, Learn, Share

I was an English teacher in China, so I can help hosts or guests with their English if they need it. I'm also good at bike building/fixing and fixing stuff in general I guess...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm no master chef but I know how to make some pretty tasty food, either veggie or meaty. I'm always happy to go get some ingredients and cook for my host.
