I’m Arron, from the North of England but love to travel as much as financial and time constraints allow. I work in education, teaching English (as a second or other language) to adults in the UK.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel, meet and exchange, hear people’s stories, learn from others and generally have new and exciting experiences. I love learning new languages and trying them out (with varying degrees of success!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Signed up to Couchsurfing… just kidding, erm not really sure. How do you define ‘amazing’? I used to know all of the capital cities. Not that impressive really.
I’ll try to come up with something better when it occurs to me.
Oh yeah, I’ve written a book of puns (author’s note: puns are jokes that make you groan in pain) but I dare a publishing house to print it.

Teach, Learn, Share

Not sure what I’m supposed to write in this section?
Teach me something cool
We'll learn something together
Let’s share some stuff, ideas, stories etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Humour, a love of languages, tips on where to find the best dosas in the UK (and maybe beyond?), lots of different types of tea…
