Hello everyone!
I'm a British man that has been living/working in China for the last 6 years! I really love to travel and luckily my job has allowed me to travel/work/explore many parts of the world!
For the last 12 months I have been traveling the world by bicycle, starting in China with my final destination being my home town in the UK!
I'm a very laid back and easy going man that enjoys the little things in life more than the expensive things! I love almost any outdoor activity like riding bikes, hiking, camping and exploring.
Being a teacher of all ages I have no problem with kids, actually I love them and I am always happy to be around them!
420 friendly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Im hoping that couchsurfing can help me to find some new friends throughout my trip that would enjoy spending a few days together! If you could host me that would be really fantastic but I have to tell you in advance I will have a bicycle with many bags attached to it as I will be camping and cooking along the way to help me save money! Any help or contact is appreciated! Thank you all!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In 2016 I spent 9 months cycling through Western China covering a total distance of just over 11 thousand km's.
I'm currently cycling from North West China back to the UK which will be a trip with a total distance of around 20 thousand km's!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a teacher by trade so that's an easy one, I can teach both English/Chinese and photography depending on how much time we have to spend together!

Having travelled extensively throughout China and central Asia by bicycle I would be happy to share some stories from my journey as well as any advice on how you can also begin to travel this beautiful world by bicycle!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am happy to share almost anything!
I am happy to cook for my hosts if they want to try something new!
Photos, travel experiences, English/Chinese or photography lessons/help, family or portrait photo shoots and the most important one... FUN and lots of LAUGHING!
