I was born and raised in the UK and spent six years of my adult life living in Latin America.

Porto has been my home since October 2020.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found that the CS meetups are a good way to meet up with like-minded people when you arrive in a city on your own.

I have couchsurfed in Fiji and Argentina and hosted while I was living in Panama and Colombia.

Interests

Travel, music, learning languages, books, writing, food, football, trekking, mountain biking, surfing, beer, wine, chess.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my biggest passion (after travel) in life. I listen to lots of different genres - it all depends on my mood and the setting. At the moment I am listening mostly to techno, hip-hop and rock.

Have enjoyed books by Chekhov, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Murakami, Kafka, Tom Wolfe, Bukowski.

And if it's non-fiction then philosophy, psychology, politics, economics, history.
