Professional with post graduate qualifications, but at times the rat race and corporate world gets to me and I need to break out. No better way than to step out my comfort zone, and not simply go on a two week holiday but go see how other people experience life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sightseeing is one thing, but truly experiencing a country/region/city requires that you live like the locals, eat what they eat and try to be part of the every day life. Too often I have been somewhere and only done touristy things, which means you see a lot (which is great) but you don’t always experience that much. I hope that Couchsurfing can change that.

Music, Movies, and Books

Very liberal and free thinking. I like to challenge my ideas and norms and expand my horizons.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A few years ago I adopted a goal: to ensure that the number of countries I have travelled to always exceeds my age. So far so good...

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning to speak a new language is such a fulfilling experience, and I am attempting Spanish now. The ability to communicate with someone in their mother tongue would probably solve most of the world’s problems around race, culture and the prejudice around it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am quite inquisitive and I want to understand why things are the way they are. I tend to question status quo and generally accepted norms, so my hosts might get a different perspective on things they haven’t thought of before.
