Lured to South America in 2016 and been traveling, living and working here ever since. Spanish and learning about the Latin World have been my primary interests and what keeps me going. It's all been a pleasure.

Melbourne, Australia is where I call home although other homes have been London, Lyon and Medellin.

I studied marketing. Something I kind of regret but meh.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

- To meet people outside of the usual travel circles
- Practice my Spanish

- I'm not going to lie - saving on accommodation also helps.
