Michael here! From Cornwall in South West England.

I work as an online teacher for ESL (English as a Second Language) students. I love my job because I get to meet people from all over the world with different backgrounds and experiences.
I follow a vegan diet but I'm open-minded and accepting of other diets and viewpoints.

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

Travelling is one of my passions in life and I love to explore and discover new cultures.
Although I sometimes like to stay in Airbnbs to get some work done, I think one of the best ways to experience a new place is to meet locals who know the area.
I'm fascinated by different cultures and languages and I'm always more than happy to share something from my culture when I can.

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

In 2019, I spent 3 weeks working on farms in rural Japan. This was an amazing experience seeing what most tourists don't, but also for complete language immersion.
