Hello everybody. My name's Stanley, and I'm from a lovely town in England called St. Albans, which claims to have the most pubs per square mile in the country.

I quit my job to go travelling round the world with my girlfriend, and being on holiday is definitely better than being at work.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To get a better idea of the local area and to meet cool people to go for a drink with.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: my favourites are jazz and funk - new stuff like Snarky Puppy and Ezra Collective and plenty of older stuff lile John Coltrane and Bill Evans. I like big house and disco beats too, and enjoy classic rock like Black Sabbath and Frank Zappa.

Movies: The Big Lebowski.

TV: The Wire, The Sopranos, The Americans.

Books: Currently I'm enjoying reading books by authors from the countries I'm in, or about those countries. Always open to suggestions of what to read to get a greater understanding of where I am!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once saw a man dressed as Friar Tuck drink eight pints of beer in under two minutes.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help you learn English, and show you how to make English delicacies (beans on toast, gin and tonics). In return it'd be great to learn some of your language!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can offer hosts an experience of the very best of British culture and sardonic wit.
