CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

UPDATE: Due to some unforseen circumstances I cannot accept guests at this time. I hope that I will be able to continue in the future. I will continue to check my emails in case people want to hang out etc.

Hey,
I'm a PhD student at the Open University currently doing work in Planetary Sciences.
I would like to hope that i come across as a friendly, easy going person who is willing to try most things and very eager to learn.

My goal is to become a University Lecturer as I love helping and teaching people. I am a Assistant Instructor in Karate which I have been practicing for 12 years (Teaching for about 4ish)and I have been Captain of the Ninjutsu Club at University. I love to learn and love being able to then pass on information and swap interesting stories and experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

Learn as much as possible and help others learn too

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have mainly hosted so far only surfing once. However I would like to change that when I get the chance and discover some really wonderful places!

I have also started a collection of postcards of the hometowns of the surfers i have hosted. I would very much appreciate it if you could send me one after your stay or bring one with you. I would love to have a wall in my house covered in postcards from people i have met from around the world!

I do reply to all emails sent to me eventually. I usually check my profile a couple of times a week.
