About Me

Hello All,

I have been working with people with autism, substance misuse issues, homelessness etc for many years and have recently decided to take my photography a step further by going to university to study photographic art. I have always been artistic and previously this took the form of writing and music but now a camera is my new tool of expression. You can find some of my work on my facebook page called cacho perro photography. My personality is very relaxed, respectful, warm, friendly and humorous. I have spent some time in Spain before and have a few friends there but my Spanish is far from perfect.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have a plan to travel Spain and photograph as much as possible, to meet people from different walks of life and see the cities and villages from the point of view of the people that live there. I want to experience political attitudes, artistic scenes. foods, music, and culture in general. I am quite independent also so I am not looking for a full time guide.
