I'm interested in most things, especially music - nearly all genres, films, sports and travelling of course. I love going out and watching live music, staying in and watching films and meeting new people.
I've been an English teacher for about two and a half years, mainly to get out of England and live in new, warmer places. I have travelled round most of the continents, before going to University and lived in a few different English cities (Brighton, Bristol, Reading) as well as New Zealand. I lived in Lisbon for two years. Was working and living in Lima for a bit, but now I'm in Kuala Lumpur.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My mate told me that it was good, I'm not one for online things - don't have a facebook.

Teach, Learn, Share

I already teach, always happy to help people for free too, I'm always learning - i don't think you ever stop in life and SHARING IS CARING.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some bad jokes, some hilarious stories, wine, good food, lots of terrible English slang and expressions and advice on great music and films to watch.
