Well firstly let me start by saying I genuinely believe this is the first "About Me" I've felt obliged to fill out!

So where to start? I guess we'll start with an introduction.. My name is Manny and I'm 24, I've worked in bars for the past 6 years but before that I was a hairdresser for 4 years and before that I was a labourer for a builder from the age of 14. So not only could I knock you up a damn tasty Mai Tai whilst giving you a fresh trim, I could also dig the footings for your new extension.. Happy days!

I come from a big family, us MacGregor folk really do breed.. I have two younger brothers and one older sister so when it comes to kids they just seem to warm to me instantly but that could be due to my babyface making me look like a child.

I'd like to think I'm kind, selfless individual but doesn't everyone think highly of themselves?
I just treat people how I'd like to be treated to be honest with you and that's worked well for me so far!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I've got such a passion for spirits and all the magical elixirs we create with them, I really just want to bumble around the planet finding new watering holes and learn more about the infinite art of mixology.

The reason behind CA? Well the original plan was to go to Australia for a year until I fell deeply for this American Princess, she captured my heart in London and took it back with her to California.. I booked the flights and got my visa as soon as i could, unfortunately after 9 months the love story was cut short and i find myself with flights to LA but without a plan.. So here I am!

Música, películas y libros

Ahhhhh hard question!
Music, impossible to have a favourite as it depends on the time and place but if I had to name some of my favourite artists.. Nina Simone, Anthony Hamilton, Chip, Skepta, RHCP, QOTSA, Sampha, Oasis, Faithless, Morcheeba, Massive Attack, Fat Freddy's Drop, Kendrick, Disclosure, The Streets, The Verve, Bowie, SBTRKT, Roni Size, Frank Ocean, Tyler the creator, Prince, Rick James, D'Angelo, Wu-Tang Clan, Childish Gambino, Drake, System of a down... You get the point.

Movie.. I have a favourite movie of all time and that's The Intouchables.. Not the action packed shite but the French film that is simply beautiful. Although failing, that pretty much anything with Johnny Depp as that man is just incredible.

Can't lie.. The only books that I really find myself diving into are books about liquor and the people mixing it!
Should probably change that really haha

Algo increíble que he hecho

I hate this question, whats an amazing thing?!

I ran with the bulls wearing nothing but a blindfold.

That's a lie obviously but possibly one for the bucket list?

I guess competing in a number of cocktail competitions is pretty cool , I've also got a book in which I've written a number of recipes I've created myself..

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I think I've made it reasonably clear what my talents are and what I can share with you but I forgot to mention that I write lyrics and sing also..
I love to cook as well so if you want to put on some Latin music and get creative in the kitchen I'm down for that!!

Qué puedo ofrecer a los anfitriones

I'll Cook, Clean & Entertain
I have stories for days
I'll whoop your ass on video games but you'll probably destroy me at scrabble
I'm great with kids and pets
My time in hairdressing taught me the valuable skill of a pretty incredible head massage as well so rest assure you'll have a calm scalp...

What I share completely depends on the host though surely?
