I'm Ty, a passionate entrepreneur and highly motivated individual. I'm 24, from Malta (an island in the Mediterranean) and read for degrees in both in Classics (the study of greek and latin) and Business. I'm a very sociable person who would like to get to know more people. If you're in my neck of the woods drop me a line.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

A classicist by training I've always been fascinated by culture and language. I'm on couchsurfing to build authentic connections and friendships with the locals of the places i visit. I'm especially interested in visiting China and Hong Kong.

Will be in HONG KONG for RISE conference in July! (Super excited)

Interests

Fountain Pens and Calligraphy
I'm a massive pen geek and proud of it. When i have the time i love nothing better than to try different styles of calligraphy and hand writing letters to my penfriends for a truly personal experience.

I'm a very active person and nowadays I love to run since I've become too busy to continue with my Hung Gar Kung Fu training.

Languages
I love everything linguistic. When i'm not teaching greek or latin i'm trying (very slowly) to teach myself mandarin. :)

Coding and Video games
Nothing better after a hard day's work than getting lost in Far Cry or learning to code C# from the MSDN. I'm a massive newbie but i like learning new things =]

Martial Arts
Judo and Hung Gar Kung Fu

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit a lecturing post at the University in Malta teaching Acient Greek and Latin to start an award winning MarTech startup with one of my best friends.

Teach, Learn, Share

I find literally everything fascinating and I love to learn about different cultures. I'm particularly fond of languages, literatures and diverse business cultures.
