About Me

Hi! I'm currently travelling overland from the UK to Asia. Last year I was doing WorkAways and WWOOFing and stayed with a couple of people on couchsurfing. It was super fun and I loved meeting fellow travellers.
I grew up in the UK were I studied engineering, then worked in industry for about five years. My main interests at the moment are web development (check out my site at spoyl.github.io), being active, eating good food and making music (mainly guitar). I'm also trying to improve my surfing :)

Not currently accepting guests as I don't have a permanent address - definitely plan to in the future!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I intend to be on the road for a long time having authentic experiences with real people. Couchsurfing is the perfect way to do this.

Interests

I play guitar, drums and piano and would love to jam with you! I'm also into web development and have started building a personal website.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and hit the road! Also installing an entire solar panel system for a farmer in Southern France with no prior knowledge or training (for free)

Teach, Learn, Share

Can you help me improve my guitar skills or teach me French?

What I Can Share with Hosts

I've picked up some skills during my travels, including solar panel installation, gardening and basic farming practices. I know about technical product design and have web development experience. I'm also a native English speaker so can teach you English.
