About Me

I´m a 23 year old guy who has just finished studying a 4 year course at Swansea University, Wales. Now I've decided to take a break from my studies and go travelling in an attempt to get a better sense of the world around me.
My brother and I started our adventure 17 months ago, where we flew out of England and landed in Rio De Janeiro just in time for carnival. From there we travelled south and into Argentina, before crossing over to Chile; where we and 5 others rented a van and drove all the way up to Bolivia. After the van I switched back to bus travel and have been going through each country learning everything I can from the different cultures along the way. Volunteering along the way, we've now made it through all of Central America and are currently in Mexico flying home from Cancun soon.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After being told so many good things by people on my traves I finally decided to give it a go! I'm on Couchsurfing to meet people from all around the world and hopefully learn a bit about their way of living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I rode down the worlds most dangerous road on a bike in La Paz, Bolivia. We got drenched with the rain and it was sketchy at times but we made it through alive!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can help teach hosts English as well as some basic computer skills.
I would love to learn more about the local culture and traditions. I find the differences in each location's way of life fascinating and therefore try to understand as much as possible during my time there.
I enjoy cooking so like to share recipes. Exchanging music music knowledge is also a lot of fun. I have a lot of different songs from England and other parts of the world and limited knowledge of much latin music. I have been taking lots of photos throughout my travels. I like to share these with others along with the stories behind each one.
