Thom. British guy. Grew up in the southwest of England, went to live in Seoul after university, and now living in Tokyo.
I am not available to host anymore, but I am happy to show you around and go for drinks. I've been here for 5 years and have a pretty good grasp of the place now!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
