CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME
I love travelling. I get wanderlust way too easily and the minute someone tells me of an awesome trip they had I just have to go check it out.
When im travelling I love to see what a place has to offer both in the day and at night. Im more a fan of active/adventure focused trips but that can range from biking round Viet Nam (well getting lost on a bike is probably more accurate) to surfing and mountain biking, to sitting in a bar playing drinking games with the locals via gestures. But just chilling in some of the amazing places the world has to offer is always a fun way to rest.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Im brand new to this. But i have heard nothing but good, sorry EPIC, stories about it and some of my friends have had the most incredible trips throught this. Ive always found that the best part of any place is the people who live there, so the opportunity to meet them and experience their side is just incredible, and is such an important and fantastic part of travelling.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
None at present but recently a few new friends reccomended it to me with nothing but amazing chat. The stories of the places theyd been and more importantly the people theyd met just sounded incredible.
Interests
Surfing. IT IS AMAZING.
Skiing. Ive always wanted to try Kitesurfing aswell.
Travelling: Well obviously.
Breakdancing and Tricking - pretty new to these but they are amazing. Requires soo much skill but they are just so rewarding...... and mindblowingly cool.

Music, Movies, and Books
Music : Electro and House is just awesome. Also Dub-Motherf***ing-Step.
Anything that gets people hyped and ready to party. And i always love the most epic chillout music.
Books: Anything not a Uni textbook. Im trying to get into some of the classics, will hopefully get that sorted on my next trip, also anything political or explaining the world around us, thers some pretty interesting things to hear about.
Teach, Learn, Share
Im always up to share what I know. Seeing people getting excited or involved in something i love is just as much fun as the thing itself. And the same goes for people opening me up to new things.
Surfing. If you havent surfed you are missing out. I started a year ago and its just part of my life now. Im heading to South Africa summer 2011 to get to a high standard and start exploring some serious breaks. If anyone wants to go for a surf its on! Anyone who has any experience or skills to pass on id love to surf/chat. But if anyone wants to learn I can teach you and get you on your first wave no problem.
Im pretty fluent in Spanish having lived there when i was young, but unfortunatley having not spoken it for a number of years means Im a bit rusty. Any opportunity to spend some time speaking it again would be amazing. However if your interested in learning theres definately someting I could help you with.
Anyone who speaks Swedish it would be awesome to learn. Im going to Lund University and its just soo much better to speak Swedish than expect them to use their flawless English.
Breakdancing and Tricking. Im not exactly great at these so I couldnt really teach much more than the basics but im determined to boss these so if anyone wants to train then lets do it.
