About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do something a little different

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and (occasionally) funny person. I like to hear about other people and their stories.

I left a my job working in an industry I was no longer interested in nor passionate about to teach English in Korea. It was only meant to be for a year while I decided what I wanted to to with my life, but to my surprise I really liked teaching. And teaching English gives me a great chance to travel around the world being paid for something I enjoy doing so I'm sticking with it.

I lived in Korea for two years and traveled all around the country and to a few other countries in Asia. I loved eating all the different food and seeing things that were like nothing I had experienced growing up in London.

PHILOSOPHY

It's easy to not be a dick. And if everybody did that the world would be a much nicer place.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have met a few CS users and it's always been a good experience.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I am new to CS

Interests

Football: I have loved football since I was a child. I know some people think it's boring and have no interest in it, but it's the only hobby I had when I was 10 and still have now.

Music: Came into my life soon after football. I mostly listen to rock and hip hop, but there isn't much I don't like. I also play the guitar and can sort of play the keyboard.

Keeping fit: Not a lot to say. It's not that interesting, but it's nice to do something where you can keep track of your progress and improvement.

Internet: I don't know if it's a interest but I do spend too much time on it. More of a bad habit than an interest.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies: Like The Cohen Brothers, Comedy movies, movies with a bit of substance, stupid action movies.

Music: All types of music have some good stuff if you can find it. I mostly listen to Rock and Hip Hop.

Books: My favourite book of all time is 'Are You Dave Gorman' by Dave Gorman. It's the true story of a man who bet his flat mate he could meet 54 people called Dave Gorman. I do read proper, intelligent books, as well, it's just that 'Are you Dave Gorman' is better than all of them.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam with bioluminescent plankton.

Teach, Learn, Share

Could teach you how to make people who don't play the piano think you may have some piano playing skills. It won't work on anyone who plays the piano though.
