ABOUT ME
I've got a passion for anything to do with backpacking or travelling and seeing the world in general. I love meeting people and going on adventures, hiking to places and seeing mind-blowing things.
By nature I'm very open-minded, welcoming and laid back and always strive for those in my company to be happy.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Unfortunately don't have any bed or room to offer as I'm travelling the world...
I'd love to host people one day when I get back but for now I'll keep spreading the word and raising awareness of CS.

Music, Movies, and Books
Anything by Federico Garcia Lorca. To Kill a Mockingbird, Therese Raquin, The Road, No Country for Old Men, Great Expectations, 1984, Marching Powder and Wuthering Heights and all the many others that have escaped my mind for the minute.
I love Almodovar films as I think they're stunning but other favourites include Donnie Darko, Animal Kingdom, No Country for Old Men, Brokeback Mountain, Juno, True Grit (and most Coen Bros stuff) and films by Scorcese, Eastwood, that sorta thing...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Interrailed around Eastern Europe- my first big backpacking trip and an unforgettable experience. More recently, a trip to Uluru and other famous sites in the centre of Australia was mind-blowingly cool.

Teach, Learn, Share
20th century Spain, Federico Garcia Lorca and the Spanish Civil War is something I know a little about.
Definitely keen to learn about the history of South America as it's not something we hear a lot about back home and I'm fascinated by the years of dictatorships and revolution that the continent has endured.
Anyone that knows anything about NFL, NBA or cricket is right up there in my books too.
I'm open minded and keen to learn anything.
