Overview
About Me
I’m an English guy currently solo-travelling from the UK to Singapore overland.
You can find me on instagram @s_bradley1214.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
For me travel is about learning, not just a holiday.
I think it’s important to get off the tourist trail and meet local people to learn about different ways of life around the world.
As I’ve become a more experienced traveller, I’ve found that making connections with people and having unexpected adventures is far more rewarding than just looking at tourist attractions.

Music, Movies, and Books
I’m a big film nerd watch a lot of indie and foreign-language films, and I’ve also recently been starting to get into anime. If you use Letterboxd, you can find my account here: https://boxd.it/2vvEd
In terms of reading, I’m really interested in Ancient Greek and Roman books (I’m currently starting the Aeneid).
My music taste is very chaotic, but in particular I listen to a lot of The Beatles and The Velvet Underground.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Volunteered as a teacher for one month in a remote village in Uganda.
Took my Mum backpacking and staying in hostels in Albania + Macedonia.
Visited Syria independently 4 months after the fall of the Assad regime.
Teach, Learn, Share
I’m a bit of a nerd for languages and I’m always trying to learn a bit of the language wherever I visit.
I have done some volunteering as an English teacher, so I’m always happy to help people with their English. .
What I Can Share with Hosts
I’ve been to a lot of countries by now, so I have a lot of stories and perspectives on different parts of the world that I can share.
In particular, I have travelled India extensively so if you want any advice about travelling India I’m the expert 🙂.
I love cooking and in particular I make very good foul (middle eastern fried fava beans).
