ABOUT ME

adventurous and outgoing. Like to have a laugh but can be serious when needed. Love sport, culture, art, capoiera, photography, nature and being in the great outdoors. Trying to learn guitar but can only manage a D chord at the moment.

PHILOSOPHY

Dont just dream it. Do it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hoping to travel and work in latin america and share experiences with fellow couch surfers.. learn, listen and enjoy.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

not many... only on mates couches or mates of mates.

Interests

I like all kind of sports particularly those that involve water.. diving, sailing, swimming, pedalo-ing.. and mountain stuff too. Love learning about new cultures and have a real passion for latin america (just dont like salsa that much). Am into playing capoiera when I can and taking photos. I yearn for new and crazy experiences so travel as much as I can to take me away from dull boring desk jobs.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the wonders of nature in Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania. Diving in Indonesia and completely missing a manta ray swim over my head. Surfing in Costa Rica. Living with a rural family in a protected area in Nicaragua. Experiencing the colourful markets in Guatemala. Hill trekking in Thailand. Hvaing a cold beer on Bondi beach.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: how to stand on your head, juggle, take an ok photo, english if you need it, scuba diving if you have the time and mosaics if you have the equipment. Last but not least - the mesoamerican biological corridor (on which i wrote my Phd) if that tickles your fancy.

Learn: guitar, yoga, tai chi, better spanish, arty stuff and maybe some other weird and wonderful sport.

Share: my stories and my teabags (if I havent run out)
