Hi, I'm Matt, i'm a 32 year old English guy looking to meet new people. I'm an English teacher, so I move from country to country as opportunities allow. I'm an easy-going, friendly guy who can get on with pretty much anybody. I'm not available to host at the moment, but may be in the future.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to move to a new place (Ho Chi Minh!) and I'd be interested to meet some new people, expat or not to help me acclimatise to this place.

Interests

Movies is a huge one, as is Reading

I love walking and am a geocaching addict (http://www.geocaching.com for the uninformed!)

Music is a major passion of mine - both playing and listening. I particularly love listening to live music in a relaxed or a party atmosphere - everything from Jazz and Funk to Electronica and HipHop, and most things in between!

I'm also a big foodie - and a novice cook (very novice)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - Radiohead, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, ELO, Led Zeppelin, John Coltrane, Dizzie Gillespie, Grandmaster Flash, US3, Zero7 - basically anything!

Movies - big fan of Sci-fi and Horror in particular, but also good comedies, documentaries and classic dramas. Recent movies I've enjoyed include Amy, BirdMan, Ex Machina. Old favourites are Evil Dead, Wrath of Khan and The Big Lebowski

Books - Stephen King, James Herbert, John Green, David Mitchell, Hugh Howie

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Becoming a teacher - boring but it's been the door to open up my previously stagnant life!

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what to put here!

Um....I teach English, I love introducing people to good books and movies - I'm a bit of a pop culture ambassador sometimes!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Interesting conversation, music/movie recommendations. I can cook a meal, if you're brave!
