About Me

Love to Couchsurf and to host but until now have used my partners profile. Love travelling and learning about new cultures. Try following my country around the world in football.

If you would like to read references from other people I have stayed with here is my girlfriend's link as I have always done this with her on her account https://couchsurfing.page.link/Xf5uFnypehwhcd3A9

I have also posted some screenshots of the references in my photo's.

I am an Art teacher and a welsh speaker whose dream is to one day teach in the welsh schools of Patagonia, Argentina.

I have recently bought a new home which I am in the process of building and can't wait to get it finished and make it available for couchsurfers to stay and visit Wales.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To travel and meet local people and to host when I am home and show people around my country.

Interests

I love most sports, playing football for most of my life and have recently taken part in a boxing event in front of 600 people for the mental health charity MIND. I like to put myself out of my comfort zone and am a massive adrenaline junky. I have skydived twice, most recently with my girlfriend, which was an amazing experience. I have also done a bunjee jump. My next target is to try paraglyding. I support and follow my country around the world in Football and my club team is Newcastle United. I enjoy staying with other couchsurfers because I love to learn about new places and cultures whereas you don't get that opportunity staying in hotels. I like to sing, and have recently joined a welsh speaking choir. Being welsh is a massive part of my identity and I want to travel the world telling people about my beautiful country. I love to read, and to everyday learn new things. I enjoy staying active and think it is important to always push my body to its limits and to stay healthy. However, I also love a beer and a good time 😁.

Teach, Learn, Share

Did you know there are now 5,000 welsh speakers in Patagonia, Argentina. The Welsh became the first European settlers in 1865, sailing over on a ship called the Mimosa, taking 2 months to arrive.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A beautiful home in a beautiful place - I will show you around if I can. 30 mins from the national park/beach/city.
