Overview
About Me
I'm a 25 year old English/Irish male born and bred in London. I quit my job as a Manufacturing Research Engineer a few years ago, because I realised I didn't want to spend my twenties tied to a desk.
For the last year I was working as a nanny (or Manny)! I've also spent four summers teaching tennis in Maine, USA at a camp.
I love travelling and my favourite thing is meeting new people and connecting with those from different cultures. I also think the best way by far to travel is through meeting locals and seeing things from their perspective - rather than just seeing the touristy things, so Couchsurfing seems to be the perfect place for me!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
To experience different perspectives/cultures/lifestyles and to meet and make like minded friends who are travellers/explorers at heart.
Interests
I'm keen to throw myself in the deep end and try just about anything! I love socialising, seeing amazing scenery, sports especially soccer and tennis. I'm a bit of a jack of all, master of none! I also love discussing world issues and politics

Teach, Learn, Share
Sharing ideas with new people from different cultures
I can teach you mostly useless stuff like how to juggle or solve a rubix cube! Of course I can help you improve your English too, if it's not already your first language that is!
What I Can Share with Hosts
Humour in all its lowest forms; sarcasm, wit, self deprecation. Great deep conversations about anything and everything. A bed to crash in if you come to England.
