My name's Charlie!. I've done some pretty random stuff so far. I have quite a lot of pretty eclectic interests - languages and language teaching, good cold beer, literature, music, especially singersongwriters. Obviously travelling is a given, seeing as I'm on this website, but I also like staying places a little longer - working, seeing people's day to day, learning their language. More than anything, people tell me I'm very sociable - I love getting to know new people. Hopefully I'll meet you soon.

Mainly,
PHILOSOPHY

"We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." - T. S. Eliot

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I completely believe in the project. It's just pure social good.

教，学，和分享

I speak three languages more or less fluently, I can help you with English, French or Spanish, currently learning Portuguese and am crazy about the language. I can play guitar so could teach you some chords and basic shapes.
