Overview
About Me
After working for a few years as an Architect in the UK, I realised I wanted to explore a bit before settling down - spurred on mainly by a few incredibly good books and movies.
I've lived in Canada, Greece and am currently living in a Danang, a beautiful coastal city in the centre of the country.
I really enjoy the lifestyle here as it allows the time to pursue many previously unbeknownst passions - from charity work to developing my own business.
I'm easy going and like to meet new people and explore new places. That tingle you get when your in a strange place or situation is hard to beat, as long as it's not a mosquito.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I do enjoy hotels and hostels, however I feel couchsurfing offers a far more personal experience. I've surfed my friends houses since forever, although never online! I'm looking to become a host in Danang when I return from my short travels.

Music, Movies, and Books
I enjoy pretty much every type of music, it really just depends on the mood or place.
Same thing with movies, I prefer other people to choose the film though as I tend to just watch the same stuff on my own.
The Backpacker - Great book that pretty much got me travelling in the first place.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Whilst working last year I was sent off at the last minute to teach in a Special Needs School. I was meant to be with others but they were delayed so taught a workshop to around 60 Students on my own! I remember it was a beautiful bright summers day and miraculously a massive success, something I will be proud of for a long time.
Teach, Learn, Share
I teach English to a wide range of students, ages and levels in Danang. Whilst here I'm developing my own online business and also volunteering regularly with Danang Companions. An amazing charity based in the city.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I can be great company and will be grateful and very respectful of all whom will have me! As for skills I love to cook, draw, and can play a bit of guitar. And also help with anything English related!
