Hello there!

My name is Ed, I am a 34 year old poet/writer/teacher from London. (I have also lived in Spain, Italy and France:)

I am a digital nomad who teaches English online to pay my way, but whose real passion is for words, languages and art.
I am currently learning the guitar and writing songs in an effort to get into the songwriting business.

I am accepting and open minded.

I cook good Italian and Asian food, so if you are tired after work, I can cook you something easy and delicious..

I am a philosopher and I am a good listener :)

In general, I would say that I am quite individualistic and have interesting and educated worldviews/perspectives on life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I want to see the world!

I also want to meet awesome new people of different nationalities/cultures and experience their hometown through their eyes (live the local life).

Basically, I want to learn. I want to learn through travel and making connections (all the while being comfortably outside of my comfort zone.

Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions, I would be happy to answer them!
