Hello!
I’m Adam, originally from the English countryside but since 18 would call both East London & North Melbourne home. 🇬🇧
Here are five of my favourite cities so you can discover a bit about me
🇹🇷 Istanbul - Incredible food, the breathtaking view of the Bosphorus and the beautiful Mosques.
🇮🇹Florence - Boboli Gardens, Uffizi collection, Birthplace of the renaissance… Huge fan of art & wine.
🇦🇺 Melbourne - Fun, easy and a strong modern culture. The markets here are easily some of my favourite.
🇫🇷 Paris - Timeless, The Pastries, perfect place to read a book in a park or stroll by the Seine.
🇺🇿 Khiva - Transported me back in time, the city lends itself to its isolation. Phenomenally beautiful.

I got my degree in Visual Arts, worked in a backpackers hostel, travel a lot and hosted a lot (although not on the app), people I meet in hostels around the world when they came to London.

Having lived in both Milan and Sicily I can speak Italian & it gives me pleasure to have conversations in it. 🇮🇹

Currently between Canada and the USA. 🇨🇦🇺🇸

Perché sono iscritto su Couchsurfing

To share deeper connections with people, to experience a place more authentically and to open my mind even further. Meet-ups in cities have introduced me to some really cool people. I loved hosting people near to brick lane in London, but now I’m out there in the world without a fixed address! This app has changed my life for the better.

Insegna, impara, condividi

I can teach a fun card game, I should always have a pack on me. Also language skills & cultural information on my experiences living in different countries. I’d love to learn more about cultures that are seemingly very different from those in the West. As for sharing, I’m always happy to cook a dinner or share a breakfast and if I can host you can treat the place as if it were your own home too.

Cosa posso offrire ai padroni di casa

I can share interesting conversations on the shape of the world, recommendations based on places I have been so lucky to have experienced so far. Although I can make a bit of a mess when I cook, I can cook well so that’s certainly an option! And above all, a chill, caring personality with a British sense of humour :)
