I'm Taylor, a graphic designer from England and an experienced traveller. I've lived for months at a time in Portugal, Greece, Israel, the Netherlands, Brazil, Argentina, and more, always with a focus on immersing myself in local culture, learning about history, and connecting with people. I work for a non-profit focused on advocating for AI safety, and am an active member of the Effective Altruism community. I pursue a career focused on making a positive impact on the world, and feeling fulfilled. I'm a creative and adventurous type, but like to live simply. I'm pescatarian but endeavour to be vegan.

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I'm currently travelling with my Brazilian girlfriend Nathália. We have both been splitting our time between Europe and Brazil for the past couple of years. Nathália is really interested in Irish culture and history, and enjoys playing the Irish flute at folk sessions. We both really enjoy cooking great food and trying new cuisines. I hope you will find Nathália and I to be very kind, friendly, and considerate couchsurfers.

Música, películas y libros

I really enjoy learning, and tend to read non-fiction books about entrepreneurship, philosophy, mindfulness, and science. I also like watching documentaries and biographical movies for the same reason. Recently I've been reading some science fiction novels which has been a really fun departure from my usual reading.
