I work as a fundraising researcher for charities working towards promoting reading.

I travelled full time while working online since 2016 -- I leased and managed an eco hostel in a tiny island overlooking 2 volcanoes either side for 2 years, I lived with a Lao family for 5 months helping to market their guesthouse online, in Greece and Australia for 3 months each.

I am now documenting this alternative way of slow travelling which is sustainable, cheaper and builds more meaningful connections with the people and the places

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I love stories - listening and telling. People fascinates me with their passions, likes, dislikes and frustrations and it is only through travelling that I have come to this great realisation that we are all the same with the same desires, only the details differ

Música, películas y libros

Catch 22, Animal farm, Robinson Crusoe, Lord of the rings. I always wanted to live like Robinson Crusoe living in an island and I was lucky to live in 4 different islands.

I love classic rock. And a lot of alternative/ indie songs.

Algo increíble que he hecho

Cycled 800 kilometres with my best friend to help him cure his heart ache, on a cheap cycle we bought for 2100 rupees, without any gears.

Survived series of earthquakes in Indonesia and one in Greece.

Saw a whale. Climbed a volcano.

Paid for a cheap tickets to a Guns and roses live show. They gave me the wrong ticket -- a VIP one.. Saw them live 5 metres away from me.

Haha. Now it feels like bragging :p

Enseña, aprende, comparte

1) how to travel longer for cheaper. My friends travelled to Thailand for 5 days and it costs them 75k. I can do 3 months with the same amount, while learning Muay Thai and to make Pad Thai and making deeper connection with the place and making many friends. You only need time!

2) how to learn without spending any extra time

3) swimming, motorbiking, languages

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

If you are kind enough to give me a corner to sleep in, I will
