CURRENT MISSION

To discover why all Couch Surfers in Buenos Aires are located in Hurlingham, according to the website.

ABOUT ME

I'm a freelance journalist covering Argentine and South American football for (mostly) English-language publications. In my spare time, which is legion, I read, dance, jog, walk, photograph things, and search the streets of Buenos Aires for things that might contain some spice.

PHILOSOPHY

The world is a book. A man who does not travel only reads the first page.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've hosted a few people and met up with a few others for a walk or a drink. I'm not a very active CSer but always happy to try and arrange something!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Very good so far! I've surfed at one house and hosted others.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

La Habana. The most beautiful shithole in the world (probably). And Juneau, Alaska, which is the most beautiful city in the world full stop. Or so close it doesn't matter.

教，学，和分享

Argentine footballer Carlos Tevez was the only gold medal-winning sportsman at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games not to be given a laurel leaf with his medal. True fact.

I am more than happy to help people correct errors in their English. This includes people whose mother tongue is English, and is not always limited to whether they like me doing it or not (but I won't do it to you if I don't know you). I do, however, wish there was a level of Spanish I could have selected that fit between 'Intermediate' and 'Expert'.
