CURRENT MISSION

To teach and travel the world

ABOUT ME

I am a pretty down to earth guy who loves to meet new people and experience their culture.

I'm easy going. I like to read, play football, listen to music and just hang around coffee bars, restaurants and pubs with my beautiful friends.

PHILOSOPHY

Pay it forward and never sit down when you can dance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel the world and meet the locals! I love seeing places from the viewpoint of a local person. That's the best way to explore a new village, town, city or country!

Interests

I love travelling, of course, and I like trying new foods and just generally exploring new places. I enjoy listening to music, films and books as well!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 5 wonderful months in Laos where I lived on an organic farm and taught the local village children English. During that time: I fell off motorbikes and mountains, I ate some weird and wonderful food, I got to experience a Lao wedding and many other fantastic experiences.

I have managed to build up a good collection of stories in my, relatively, short life so far and I hope to add a few more over the coming years.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am an English teacher so I can obviously help people who are learning the language.

I'm quite a good listener and one of the joys of travelling is you can become a trusted confidant instantly.
