Hi everyone! My name is Matt, and I will be travelling throughout Asia and South East Asia as of the end of October 2015. If you want to see what I look like, I made a video before leaving: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Igvzx5MnqxY

I make videos about my travels, here's the channel! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgYxyi4T-5ErXxgjFsv9PCA

My roadmap looks like this:
-Japan
-South Korea
-China
-Vietnam
-Cambodia
-Laos
-Myanmar (or Burma, I'm not judging!)
-Thailand
-Malaysia
-Singapore
And perhaps more... I'd love to meet people that live in the cities I will be visiting and dropping, and exchanging on the culture or anything else you're interested in. Don't hesitate to reach out! :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have heard so much about this community from friends that have traveled within or outside of their home countries. I am trully looking forward to experiencing what it offers and find out what I can give in return!

Interests

I am a musician, surfer, avid reader, tech fan, fervant debater and overall curious person. I love to try new things, whether it'd be places, food, languages, activities, you name it!

• culture
• dining
• technology
• traveling
• socializing
• music
• backpacking
• camping
• languages

Music, Movies, and Books

Favorite Music: Anything rock related goes, also listen to a variety of other things (rap, classical, some electro, johnny cash is the extent of my country knowledge, etc...)
Favorite Movie: The Blues Brothers!!
Favorite Book: Don't have a favorite, thoroughly enjoyed my latest (Open by Andre Agassi)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went camping around Namibia and woke up literally underneath an Elephant one morning! Lesson well learnt: do not sleep underneath an accacia.

I am also taking a backpacking trip by myself around Asia for six or so months, so hopefully I will add more to this soon!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach anything related to English or French, would be happy to share about music as well. I studied Marketing and Finance so I can help in those areas too.
I am looking to learn anything and everything! Some rudiments of language of the country I am in would be a good start :)
I'd love to share stories about my travels and experiences, and hope you'll do the same!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share a vivd enthusiasm for everything surrounding me, and hopefully some of my knowledge and experiences!
