Hi there. My name is Patrick (or John). I am from a county in the north of England called Yorkshire. It's a beautiful area with countryside and cities all close by. I have been a carer for adults with disabilities and I now study in Lincoln. I have travelled Europe and intend to do more.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet locals who know the places I visit and to make friends and hear different world views. I would also like to hear different music.

Music, Movies, and Books

I have read many books but a couple that really stick in my memory is the book thief and Wuthering Heights. My music taste is huge and depends a lot on my mood or environment. I go through phases of artists who really take a hold of me. To name a few, David Bowie, Prince, Kate Bush, Johnny cash, Talkin Heads, The Strokes, The Clash. I Have also really gotten into techno and house music in the past few years alongside chilled music with artists like Ludovico Einaudi etc. I enjoy most of Tarantinos and Scorcese films and comedy and action.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Teach, Learn, Share

I would like to have conversations with people about their country and also tell people about my country. Everyone has a story to tell!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can bring laughter, conversation and can make a few lovely meals if I may say so. Also can help with any housework or English practice.
