About Me

Hello, I'm Albi.

At the moment I'm a charity worker and photographer in Mexico, but I'm on a longer trip for a year (or more) around Latin America to do some volunteering and some charity work in various countries.

Before this, I was a physics teacher for 5 years in London - which I loved - but I decided that I'd have a late 20s crisis, quit my job and travel the world for a while.

I am kind, relaxed, interested in pretty much everything especially if someone is passionate about it, and I love a good coffee, so please send me recommendations for the best coffee in your town!

Other fairly useless information includes: my favourite colour is purple, I am allergic to chocolate and used to be a black belt in karate.

EN ESPAÑOL (creo que...)

Hola,

Soy Albi, ahora soy un voluntario a una caridad en Oaxaca, pero, voy a viajar en Latinoamérica hasta... pues, hasta no sé!

Yo era un maestro de física durante 6 años en Londres, pero, quería un cambio de vida y entonces decidí a venir a Latinoamérica ser voluntario y viajar por nuevo países.

Soy tranquilo, simpático y limpio y me gusta charlar acerca cualquier cosa. También, me encante cafe muy bueno y por eso si tu tienes algunos recomendaciones por donde puedo beberlo en tu ciudad, por favour, avísame!

Un poco mas información: me color favorito es el morado, yo era la cinta negra a karate (pero hace muchos años) y soy alérgico a chocolate.

Saludos!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love funk and soul music, so, so much, but I'll happily listen to most things (although I don't like opera).

I don't read too much, but I enjoy books about the human mind, philosophy and anything by Gabriel Garcia Marquez.

Not sure I have a favourite movie, but I really like Studio Ghibli films.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit my job and decided to travel the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

The reason the stars twinkle is that the atmosphere is a fluid. This means that when light from the stars come in, it refracts slightly differently every second and this means that the star looks like it's twinkling.
