CURRENT MISSION

I aim to see as much of the world as possible while meeting as many exciting and interesting people as possible, before I get sucked in to a career and family and have little/no time to travel and experience this wonderful world we live in.

ABOUT ME

I am a young guy who is desperate to travel and experience the world, and would much rather do that by meeting and staying with people than forking out ridiculous amounts of money for hotels all over the place where I would spend my whole time alone being amused by how small the shampoo bottle is!!
I love theatre and film, and aim to become a professional Director in the near future after attending university. I have a strange name, Jolley (pronounced Jolly) , and am usually Jolley by name and nature. I love having a laugh and having fun, I don't take myself too seriously. However, I love conversation, debate and politics.. so I guess I do have a serious side as well! I'm very easy going and not at all awkward so meeting me would be nice and easy. I'm very open about myself, my culture and lifestyle so you can ask me anything and I'll answer truthfully. Nice to meet you all, Thanks for welcoming me in to the CS community!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My most amazing experience to date, was volunteering in Thailand. I've never been so humbled by a community's positivity and love in the face of adversity!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can certainly help people learn/practice their english. I've got plenty of experience teaching and would love to help.
I want to learn about other cultures and ideas, and learn languages. I'm also keen to try new food and learn how to cook cuisine from all over the world. I want to share my time, humour and passion for life.. I hope you all do too :)
