CURRENT MISSION

Conocer y descubrir Colombia

ABOUT ME

Hi, I'm an English guy from London. I'm taking a few months off work to visit beautiful Colombia - My plan is to see as much of the county as I can, to relax, unwind, go to festivals, visit the coast and meet new people on my way.

I'm a chilled out and sociable guy and I get along well with most people I meet. I like to be around people with a love of life and a good sense of humour - I'd love to find out more about Colombian music and culture and to get a better understanding of this country and its people.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your dreams - live life to the full and don't pass up good opportunities when they come your way.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'd like to stay with couchsurfing hosts around Colombia between December 2013 and March 2014.

It would also be great to meet up with new people for an intercambio de idiomas over a coffee or una bira.

When I am back in London I will host people that want to visit London.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

No Couchsurfing Experience yet, but I hope to soon.

Interests

I love going to comedy nights and seeing bands play live. I read - writers like JG Ballard, Nick Hornby, Marquez. I run and cycle. I go to my local cinema a lot - where they have a great bar. I enjoy practising Spanish when I get the chance. Also interested in politics, the environment, ecology, world affairs.
