I live in Bristol and lived in Japan most recently before that. I just rejoined Couchsurfing to see who's around in Barcelona where I will be Weds 17th-Weds 24th Nov 2021.

I am an English language teacher. I love to travel and take portraits. I'm an English language teacher by trade.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am willing to host, be hosted or at least meet people and share my knowledge about what is good to see, do and eat.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I moved to Bristol I have hosted some people and become good friends with them. I have only been a guest once, in Kyoto, Japan,

Interests

Photography is my main passion outside of teaching. I like hip hop and yoga too.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Anytime that I can return a print for someone I have made a portrait of then I consider that an amazing experience because it is a creative endeavour that has a sense of completion and benefits more than just myself:
