About Me

I'm a teacher who wants to take the opportunity to explore the world as much as I can while I live overseas. I want to meet people, eat food, explore, relax or whatever comes my way.

I try to wander SE Asia when I can since I am teaching in malaysia and next I want to start exploring Europe a little bit. I teach Physical Education and Maths and try and workout as much as I can so I can eat whatever I want :)

I am on CS to meet new friends and that's all. I don't think I should have to say this but it is a shame that some people take friendliness way passed the boundaries of being friendly. I am a straight man, I have cheered for years and I do not mind gay men as friends but if you can't respect that and feel you want to try and pursue more, please dont message me.

I usually am a bit slow at responding because I do not have the notifications set up! But just message away and I will get back to you for sure.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined here on a friends suggestion. I would like to host but it is hard because my apartment is tiny and really only made for 1 person. I want to try and get to see the world as much as I can! It's a shame that the people who work the hardest are the ones who can't really afford to do this, so here I am! I learned to really experience new things you have to try and do what locals would do. I do not need a tour guide unless you'd like to be be some suggestions would be awesome and then I will wander. I also want to get to meet new people. I've come to learn that Americans do not live as much as everyone else in the world, so I want to get outside that box.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have had one terrible experience and I will learn from that. I am very open to meeting people but respect is the number one thing!

I have also had a few great experiences and have made some good friends. Please realize if you message me at 3 am or over and over, I will most likely not respond.
