My name is Vince, I'm from England and am 29 yrs old. I am just about to leave Australia after living here for a year to meet up with my girlfriend (www.couchsurfing.com/people/babs-elisa) and travel through South Korea, then China and onwards through Asia. Hoping to travel North up to Mongolia then all the way back down south to Macau and Hong Kong takin in the Great Wall twice along the way.

I am very easy going, love to meet new people and socialise and would love to cook for anyone who hosts us. Am always up for trying anything at least once and try to say no as much as possible. I have been traveling since May 2015 and reckon I have another couple of years in me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A huge part of traveling is meeting new awesome people and what better way than this :D !! I love making connections all around the world and learning about different lifestyles and cultures.

Is also fun trying to pick up some of the different languages. I really enjoy trying other peoples cooking and exchanging recipes and ideas as well.

And when I eventually settle in one place I would love to give back and host people myself.

Interests

I love to cook hence why I am currently a chef although my real passion is science specifically chemistry. I studied chemistry at university and consider it real life magic. I also enjoy walking, fishing, playing darts, traveling, going to gigs, gardening and astronomy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In one job I had I invented a magnetic ink using magnetic nano-particles stabilised in an oil that had never ever been done before but the company I worked for were too tight to patent it for me.

Teach, Learn, Share

Keep an open mind but not so open your brain falls out
