Hello...I'm Rowan
I'm from the UK but I wander about a lot..
I'm currently based in Mexico City.
I teach english part time , and try to fill the rest of the time with activism, educational and artistic projects, cycling, music and films...

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm really interested in ways of travelling that navigate the world without money, building on ideas of sharing and exchange instead of selling and profit...
So this is why I originally got into couch-surfing ... Ive had some amazing experiences couch-surfing in Mexico and in the Uk and look forward to welcoming people to my flat in la Cuidad de Mexico !

Música, películas y libros

I like a lot of different music, and pick it up from people I meet , am always looking for more ideas...

I'm a bit obsessed with magic realism, and Angela's Carter's short stories are my fave...

A the moment my favourite film is Nostalgia de a Luz, Patricio Guzman...
