About Me

Hey I'm Nick, 25 and from a small village in the countryside of Yorkshire, England - yeah my people brought the world Yorkshire puddings & Yorkshire tea. Love to travel and meet different people from different walks of life.

Always into new experiences, climbing mountains, trekking jungles, beach days, music, hiking, diving out of the comfort zone, watching how a city vibes, museums and other cool shit is what i'm about. I love to cook mainly because I can't seem to stop eating so I'm always up for learning how to do a local dish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After graduating in 2016 in England I moved to China to teach and lived there for almost two years teaching & travelling around Asia. It was a crazy experience full of unbelievable moments and good times but i didn't plan on staying there forever.

I left China in July 2018 and went on an 11 month journey across Asia making it to India by land from Beijing.

Haven't really used Couchsurfing that much but a fair few people told me i should so i thought I'd go for it. I love meeting local people when I'm in a new area and learning about the place from their perspective so it kinda makes sense.

Hit me up.

Music, Movies, and Books

Northern English lad so of course when there's a karaoke around you can bet I'll be itching to drop some fire in the form of Oasis and The Beatles.

I have been known to smash out a few 70s & 80s classics with me mam in the kitchen. Im talking Shania Twain, Gabrielle, Queen Whitney, Beautiful South

Everybody should have seen - Good will hunting, Adam Sandler movies, Rockys (for that life inspiration), , anything Tarantino, Mrs Doubtfire dear!

Into reading science/history/travel... - The Silk Roads, A line in the sand, brief history of time, the art of happiness, anything Anthony Bourdain, the subtle art of not giving a fuck.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

If you fancy it, how about a kickboxing lesson from a 2x kickboxing world champion.

Teach, Learn, Share

They used to give me money to teach English, Physics, Mathematics and kickboxing so take your pick.

Also a qualified rescue diver so if you have an interest in maybe saving a life one day, look no further #CPRspecialist.

I have met many people from all around the planet and learning from them is one of my favourite things.

What I Can Share with Hosts

An open minded, chilled attitude that enjoys meeting new people and making new mates from all around the world, sharing cool/ridiculous/embarrassing stories, great food, many laughs, and for sure a beer or two...

But I do prefer coffee.
