About Me

ABOUT ME

I have recently started out on post-University life, and looking to expand my horizons and meet interesting people. Having lived a year in Peru I am now back in my hometown of London and now hoping to help to get people to know London in the same way couchsurfers helped me in Peru.

PHILOSOPHY

Live in the present and realise the power of the now.

I am always keen to practise my Spanish, and I can help anyone who wants to learn English, as I have taught it a bit. I can show anyone all the ins and outs of London, and get them started in what is an incredible city.
