ABOUT ME

I'm a 34 year old doctor from England. Energetic and enthusiastic with a thirst for gaining new experiences, meeting new people and getting to know new places. I can fit in with whatever plans you might have if I come to stay with you. If you stay with me I'll try and receive you with the hospitality and warmth that so many people around the world have received me over the last few years of couchsurfing.

PHILOSOPHY

The more you put into life the more you get out of it.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

A year working with street children in La Paz, Bolivia, and everything that went with that...
one highlight was climbing Huayna Potosi mountain, with a full moon, just before the sun rose over the amazon, so at the 6090m peak you see the whole mountain go pink in the rising sun, which then gives you an awe inspiring 360 degree view of lake titicaca, the desolate alteplano, the fortress like/ snow covered cordillera real mountain range, the luscious tropical valleys of the Yungas which plunge into the cloudy amazon basin, the outskirts of el alto and la paz, the two lone giant mountains Mururata and Illimani all stretched out beneath you and a still starry morning sky .... absolutely amazing.

教，学，和分享

Music is an amazing tool for intercultural communication so I often bring an instrument, and love it when people come to stay with one too.

I can cook too which is also a wonderful way to share.
