Ollie Marshall, 19, from England.
I live a busy, healthy, and active lifestyle,
Always striving to do more and be more, whether it be within my academic studies, or active lifestyle.
Keeping the balance between work and play is key

I will be travelling around South America for 3 Months beginning 13/02/2015, this is before I begin my studies in Architecture at University this coming September.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Break out the comfort zone!
Embrace new cultures!
Experience new things!
Meet amazing people!
Broaden the mind!
Enjoy life like never before!

i want to get to know the people of the places i visit, not just the places.
I'm using couchsurfing for the engagement it invites in meeting; like minded people, locals of different areas, learning from them to guide me on my journey through south america.

Interests

Good Music, Good food, Good Company, and of course Good Coffee

Keeping active! sports and activities of any kind! Football, Rugby, Hockey, Surfing, Cycling, Swimming, Weight lifting. Near enough anything, and I'm always forever keen to try more.
Meeting people who may share this love of keeping fit would be a pleasure and great fun to be hosted by.

Architecture I'm heavily into as this is the profession i will be continuing to study in september to in future become an Architect.
I love the process of design and the forever ending strive to create more functional and aesthetic places that we live in.
I love the process of the simple stimulus forming the complex response

In my down time I enjoy good food with good company with maybe a few alcoholic beverages,
whether it be with people i've just met, or people that I already call friends,
or whether it be in a busy bar or a quiet scenic setting.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm massively into the UK House music scene and if you want an insight into my sort of music euphoria take a peak at my personal Soundcloud...

My Bookshelf mostly consists of relations to my future profession; Architecture. Specific Designers, Movements, Styles, and Processes to stimulate my flair in Architectural design.

Movies will range from anything that suits the mood, the list would be too long. I'm mostly guilty for a good action movie.

Teach, Learn, Share

While learning about the lives of people I stay with through my travel I want to gain their knowledge and perspectives on life; their influences, beliefs and what inspires them.
I want to see what life is like on the other side of the world and what life is to them.

Coming from England my experiences and life could be completely different to a host I stay with, and that fascinates me in sharing our stories.
