Hi there! 👋

I’m only accepting people who speak Spanish or at least have some of a knowledge of the language. I’m currently studying the language and have limited time to host. So this will be a little intercambio lingüístico — you get a place to stay, and I get to practice my (very beginner!) Spanish. 😅

-WhatsApp me as for some reason, I don’t get notifications on here: +44 7517 607515

About me:
I’m gay, and just to be clear —
💁‍♂️ For the ladies: ¡Están seguras! 😉
🙅‍♂️ For the gents: I don’t touch straight men, and my taste in gay men is very particular — so everyone’s safe here! 😂

My apartment is stunning and super cute — it’s my first place! It’s small but cozy (pretty average-sized for London) and located in one of my favourite parts of the world: Bethnal Green / Shoreditch, East London. It’s the youngest borough in London, full of art, culture, and diversity — truly the city’s creative heart. It’s also very central, located on the Central Line and just a few stops away from the cultural centre of London and only two stops away from the business centre (Liverpool Street).

I welcome guests of any age or background, as long as you’re sober and can speak Spanish. 🙏
This is a strictly sober environment, so please don’t request a stay if you plan to drink or use anything during your visit. Also preferably have mostly sober habits in your life — no judgement, it is just the kind of people I have time to connect with at this stage.

I see this as a friendly exchange — you help me by chatting en español, and in return, I’ll share my love for London (and maybe a few pequeños secretos de la ciudad). 🌆

A bit more about me:
I’m from South Africa — Howzit! 🇿🇦 — and I’ve lived in several countries over the past four years before settling in London, one of my absolute favourite cities. I know it pretty well, but there’s still so much to explore… ¡vamos a descubrirlo juntos!

I have couch surfed in several countries and have the references to back me up ;)

My interests include spirituality, gym, meditation, socialising, festivals, hiking, yoga, and honestly, so much more. You’ll find out the rest when you stay with me 👐

If you’d like, I can also make a fully Spanish version for you.
