Hello! My name is Thomas . I consider myself a little socially awkward but easy to get along with, I hope to get along with you! I finished doing a masters in psychology which identified language markers in incel spaces. I am now beginning a degree in Art therapy! In order of fund the things I want to do, I teach English online to kids in China! I would love to tell you stories about my experiences in the online learning space! The kids are so cute! I love to see art and theater in new places. Its these atractions that usually interest me most about travel. While I am not usually the one to go out and party until the early hours of the morning, I can be a pretty good mom friend who will make sure you are hydrated before you sleep. Before university I spent a year becoming a divemaster in which I learnt a deep love of all things living! It also gave me a healthy understanding of what it is like to work in a diving service industry.
Interested in Art
Interested in Environmentalism
Fluent in German
Learning Afrikaans
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I feel as if Couchsurfing will bring me closer to the local people and cultures of the place I am going as opposed to staying in a hotel or hostel. Furthermore, I believe in the strength of community and I hope to open my own home to people seeking a couch in South Africa to meet new people and host other cultures!
