ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Matthew, I'm from England and I have now been travelling since march 2014! I started out in Morocco in Africa which is where I was convinced by some friends to be brave and go further away from home, and here I am in Asia! To start my Asia travels I flew into Thailand and travelled around the north before flying to Sri Lanka where I spent a 3 weeks travelling around. I then visited Malaysia and then to Japan. After three weeks in Japan I came to Australia on a working holiday visa but that is now coming to an end so it's time to get travelling again! I am flying from Australia to Fiji in August, I then visit Hong Kong, I then will spend 1 month in China before spending 10 days in Mongolia, I very recently just booked a flight to Kyrgyzstan also :) so if anyone is able to host me on my travels and show me your local culture and traditions it would be a great experience!

I look forward to meeting you and discovering your country :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I would like to try and Couchsurf in each country I visit to meet the local people of that country.

Interests

My interests for this trip is to see and hopefully experience the culture and everyday customs of your country.

• culture
• flying
• traveling

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy watching good meaningful films and enjoy the occasional comical movie.

I like I wide range of music, I find I listen to music that accompanies the mood that I am in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in Kenya for 10 weeks in 2009, working in conservation of the forests and helping the local community achieve sustainable income. This was a great experience and think this was the beginning of my inspiration to seek out the different culture and traditions of the countries I visit.

Teach, Learn, Share

Hopefully I can offer the host interesting conversations and I would be very interested to know about what life is like in their country.
