Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
To speak Spanish flently!
ABOUT ME
I love adventures and new experiences. So, travelling and meeting people from all over the world is a passion! I'm living the dream by exploring Latin America right now. :)
PHILOSOPHY
I'm here to have an adventure and experience the diversity of the world we live in. Expanding my boundaries and capabilities is central to my character. But only if it's fun along the way! :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I have a spare bed half an hour from central London by train. And of course I do my level best to brighten up the lives of everyone I surf with!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Making new friends and experiencing their hospitality has been the highlight of my epic journey around Latin America! I plan to reciprocate that amazing generosity when I eventually return to English shores.

Music, Movies, and Books
Movies - The Big Lebowski, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Usual Suspects, Memento, Sin City. I prize innovation, so formulaic movies bore me.
Music - Jazzanova, Carl Craig, Freestylers, Arctic Monkeys, Stone Roses. Adore jazz fused with electronica.
Books - Shantaram, Freakonomics, Think & Grow Rich, Cloud Atlas, The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari. I like to learn new things while I'm reading so I like a lot of non-fiction - especially personal development & sprituality, popular psychology, popular science, social sciences, philosophy.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Tough choice. Top 5. Road trip round Patagonia, cave diving in Mexico, shooting TV commercials in India, skydiving in Argentina, volunteering in a remote Nepalese village.
