About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To meet new people and explore the world.

ABOUT ME

I am an easy going, sociable 25 year old male, I love meeting new people even its just to have a chat, I'm pretty much up to doing anything and always willing to help out. I have been working in schools for the past few years as a teaching assistant and I have just moved to South Korea to teach English.

PHILOSOPHY

I don't really have a personal philosophy when it comes to it, though I do believe in always trying to learn new things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have just started hosting people in the beautiful city of Gyeongju. I love exploring the area, hiking and also socialising, so if you are up for any of those I will be a happy host and wanting to be involved, work permitting! I have been to a lot of places but even being 3 months haven't the full extent of temples and beautiful places to visit!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't really couch surfed myself properly myself, however my sister had such a great experience doing it I felt I could host people and get to meet lots of amazing people that i should host. I have only hosted a couple of people, but i have either been to new places or got a better understanding of the local history and have done things I may not have done that i have enjoyed the company of everyone i have hosted so far. I love to meet new people and I am always up for doing something new :)

Interests

I enjoy meeting up with friends, exploring new places and I love to cycle, it also being my main mode of transport.
I used to play drums, though I am incredibly out of practice and I enjoy reading, though I prefer to have and actual book in my hand, rather than on a screen, so have not been reading as much recently.
I play board games whenever I find someone else who is interested in playing, however being in Korea I only have a couple of card games to play at the moment!
I play a few PC games, but mainly online with my friends from the UK to keep in touch.
I really enjoy going camping, and when the weather picks up in Korea I will be buying a tent and cycling/camping around different parts of Korea.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite genre of books is fantasy, but I am always keen to get new suggestions of books to read!

I like a whole variety of movies/TV, though more often than not I am just streaming a random series on Netflix.

Generally I listen to whatever is on the radio, though if i were to pick some genre's I am probably more into Indie/Rock/Alternative.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sky diving is probably the most amazing thing i've done and well worth the money!

Countries I’ve Visited

Belgium, Czech Republic, France, Netherlands, Slovakia, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Australia, New Zealand, South Korea
