I've spent the last 9 years living in London, 7 of which working at an independent record label... but I just quit my job to take a few months out exploring South America. Hoping to meet locals....rather than just play beer pong in hostels.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I much prefer to spend time with locals rather than just play beer pong in hostels....and I've never couch surfed before so thought it was worth trying.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Cycle & walk alone through Vinales national park in Cuba.
It was my first solo trip, and first time leaving Europe.
After hours of cycling and then walking, I reached the top of a hill that overlooked a valley.
I'd never felt so far from home.... that feeling inspired me to explore new places whenever the opportunity came along.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm working hard to improve and further my Spanish, so any opportunity to practice is golden!

I'm a qualified English Language teacher and I would be happy to help hosts with learning English (if needed!)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love cooking and would be more than happy to share some of my favourite dishes.
