I love travelling around to meet new people, see new places and try new things culturally (food, drink, celebrations, etc..). I love nature, animals, simplicity, limited phone use, living rough, and working with my hands. But also on occasions I enjoy the vibrations of a city bustling with people, live music, architecture, and drinking and dancing at bars. I love to feel and be treated like a local wherever I go. Which is difficult because I look so obviously English haha...

I've been travelling for 8 years now in Asia and LATAM doing helpx's in beach resorts, hostels, hotels, farms and restaurants. Absolutely loved it! Plenty of stories to tell.

I met my beautiful girlfriend Mapy during this time and we now travel together. Here's her profile so you can see us both: https://couchsurfing.page.link/j5FJGX87ksq8JBmx9

I just saw this on somebody's profile and it completely captures my way of life, change/adaption:

“You must be shapeless, formless, like water. When you pour water in a cup, it becomes the cup. When you pour water in a bottle, it becomes the bottle. When you pour water in a teapot, it becomes the teapot. Water can drip and it can crash. Become like water my friend.”

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To visit all the places and stay with a local, hopefully putting me a step closer to the realness of the place I go to. But also it's just to meet new people straight away, learn and experience from one another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Just got up, sold my things and left to go backpacking with a very small amount of money but also with no concern.

Teach, Learn, Share

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm very much a listener at first, but get a few drinks down me and when I feel comfortable I can tell you stories about my life, love a deep conversation and a discussions about everything.
