CURRENT MISSION

Nearing two years of life and work in Hanoi, Vietnam. Senior EFL teacher at Apax English (and the student's favourite).

ABOUT ME

Adventurous, very easy-going, jokey, ambitious, a little too football-obsessed perhaps? I'm trying to take my photography hobby more seriously now I'm travelling in such a stunning part of the world. Always happy to have a ramble on anything from sport to politics to the fabric of existence over a beer or coffee (depending on the time of day)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I caught on when my housemate in Barcelona hosted people in our flat and thought it was a brilliant way to travel. I'd offer my own home if it didn't change every week!
