About Me

I'm making a big change in my life at the moment, leaving an office job in the UK to become an English teacher in Mexico, I'm exploring the country before deciding where I want to live. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures, and have been loving my time here so far!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm currently exploring Mexico before moving here, and I would love to meet new people to explore with and practice my Spanish.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Jason Molina, Wu-Tang, Chappell Roan, Charles Mingus. I also play bass and used to play in different bands before I started travelling.

Movies: Everything, I'm a massive nerd when it comes to movies!

Books: I studied philosophy, at university, and still love reading about it. In terms of fiction, I've recently loved reading: The Goldfinch, The Three Body Problem, Hard Times, Get Shorty.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was travelling through Bosnia, I completely changed my travel plans after a group invited me to join them in Sarajevo. What followed was the best week of my life: dancing in the streets, having deep conversations, exploring the city, catching live music in dive bars and watching the sun rise every morning.

Teach, Learn, Share

I recently qualified to be an English teacher - I'm happy to provide free English classes to any hosts.

I am currently learning Spanish (mi nivel es intermedio), and I'm keen to practice conversing so that I can learn.

I love to cook, including Indian food, and so if you want an Indian meal at any stage, I'm happy to share knowledge and even cook together.

What I Can Share with Hosts

However, the thing I most like is sharing experiences and exploring different places with new people.

I'm a big movie nerd, so if you can share your favourites with me, I'd love to watch them.
