Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I thought it would be a great way to meet some interesting , like minded people as it’s often difficult in modern society! I always get frustrated when travelling that you never (or rarely) interact with people who live in the cities your visiting, you tend to spend all your time with other foreigners. Therefore I would love to experience different cities the way residents do. Also I am trying to improve my language skills.

Interests

To be honest I like pretty much every sport there is, particularly football and I’m a Newcastle United fan.

I love meeting people from different countries.

I want to learn languages.

Read, a lot!

Love coffee, the first thing I do in a new city is find quirky cafes!

Hiking, walking, running.

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies..... I like most of the classics, but all time favourite is ‘The City of God’.
Books...... I read a lot and most of them tend to be travel/adventure/outdoor pursuits but Levison Wood's books about his expeditions are probably my favourite (so far).
Music..... Not fussy, love latin music : Reggaeton, Bachata, Salsa but also UK and US chart music. Anything really.
