It's 15 years now that I've been on Couchsurfing and I guess I've changed a lot over those years. My hair is getting greyer and thinner, for a start. But I'm chilled about that. It is what it is. I'm an English teacher who loves his work. I grew up in Brighton, England, but these days I live and work in France. Before moving here, I lived in Slovenia, Italy and Spain. I'm always relaxed. I don't do stress. I was fortunate enough to have a book published, called Gatecrashing Europe. It's mostly about a Couchsurfing adventure I undertook a long time ago now. It's not the greatest book in the world but hey ho. When I'm not working I like to spend my time writing, running, learning different languages, seeing new places with my wife, playing and/or watching football, and meeting new people from different parts of the world and getting to know a little about them and the place they come from.
