Currently travelling in Malaysia, I've been in SE Asia since last June, mostly volunteer English teaching but trying to do some couch surfing too! I try to do it as much as possible to meet local people and give them a hand if they need it, but mostly just getting to know real life in the place I'm at!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting people and I believe there are a lot of lonely/bored people in the world who would benefit from having someone around, even for a night or two, to share some conversation, a meal, the washing up even to watch a black and white movie or make some music or whatever. I've made a lot of friends from staying on their couches or in their van/caravan, yurt, hayshed, potting shed - not all of it from couchsurfing. I volunteered through helpx and workaway and had some incredible adventures.
