Always tricky to fill these in. I'm a British chap living in Germany with my German wife. I travel a lot; usually by motorcycle - I'm currently on a Husqvarna 701 Enduro and have taken trips to the Balkans and into Morocco, as well as a few more "domestic" European trips. Professionally speaking I am an IT techie, which gives me the luxury of working from home - which gives more more flexibility in travel. My good lady and I run a travel blog, where we talk about some of our experiences - you can find it at www.travellinghewitts.com.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I'm not travelling myself why not have travel come to me, in the form of people. When I am on the road I look for two things in a place to stay; low cost and interesting people - hence giving this a shot. I'm not a fan of faceless hotels; I'd rather meet people. I mostly use AirBnB and have had a lot of great experiences; I'd like to get active with Couchsurfing as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swimming and rafting under Victoria falls and in the Zambezi river was pretty damned ace.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach IT, my profession. I can show you how to make a pizza as good as you'll get from a wood fired oven using just your regular household cooker.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm a fairly handy cook, I make pizza to challenge the Italians, great fajitas, top-class burgers and have a pretty wide range of sweet treats I can put together as well. I can also fix most IT problems.
