I'm currently travelling around India, Thailand etc. I was previously living in Saigon, Vietnam as an English Teacher.

I love cycle tours and hitch-hiking and hiking. Any form of travel that requires you to go somewhat slowly, enjoying the local views and be flexible to whatever comes along. It's also guilt and carbon footprint free, which is a major bonus.

I like couch surfing because everyone has a story. So even if I'm not travelling at the moment, I can still continue to learn about other cultures through these encounters.

Other things I enjoy.... capoeira, salsa & bachata dancing, healthy & environmentally friendly lifestyles (permaculture etc), good food, good music, art in any form (dance, theatre, movies, drawings...).

I'm not necessarily available for hosting at the moment as I'm living with a family here in Vietnam! Maybe one day...

PHILOSOPHY
My philosophy is to enjoy and appreciate the here and now :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've never officially used CS (the one time I did it, my host and I ended up exchanging numbers and organising it off the website).

I'm not necessarily available for hosting at the moment as I'm living with a family here in Vietnam! Maybe one day...

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Absolutely wonderful experience. Warm welcome, talking over a beer and lots of local advice for where to go and explore.
