Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To see as much of the world before fulltime employment ties me down somewhere...
ABOUT ME
Half English, half Polish, born in Chile, and through parents who where journalists, grew up moving country every few years.
This has essentially made me a foreigner in any country I live in, albeit one with a very English accent.
PHILOSOPHY
I have been very fortunate to have been shown the endless variety of peoples, cultures and locations that this world has to offer at a very young age.
I've therefore found that to really figure out where I belong and what I want to do with my life, I must experience as much of this world as I can.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Having traveled as much as I can throughout my life, I've realised that the best experience you can have of a foreign place or country, is by immersing yourself in its local culture.
I'm hoping to introduce people to the uniqueness of Bristol and the areas of it that you would never hear about in any guide book.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
With my housemate having signed up to this, I met many really cool and interesting people.
I have realised that this project appeals to the type of internationally spirited people that I most want to get to know.
