I'm originally from the UK, but I'm currently in the Blackforest in Germany living and working as a carpenter / timber framer. If you'd like to stay in Lanivet, Cornwall, where I grew up, let me know and I can get you in contact with my Dad who loves hosting guests :)
I don't own a car and thrive on my trusty steel framed bike. I love bike trips - be it to the supermarket or cross country.
I am a spontaneous person and love adventure. I like to hear stories of where others have gone and then go myself.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love trying new things and have an endless list of things to do, which just keeps growing.
I'm hoping to better understand the world around me through travel, meeting people, visiting places and sharing experiences.

Interests

I can think of few things I'm not interested in, but some things which I particularly enjoy: being outside, cycling, cycle touring, languages, cooking, swimming, sharing stories, sleeping, kayaking / rafting, adventure, hitchhiking, sleeping under the stars, hiking, food, DIY, train riding, learning new things.

Music, Movies, and Books

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you how to split an apple in half with your bare hands!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am terribly enthusiastic about most things -I am practical (incase you need anything fixing?) - my stories - I am an English teacher / wildland firefighter / cyclist / tiny house builder.
