About Me

I am 23 years old, friendly chilled out guy who is always reasourceful. I been traveling a long time, love sport and going out. Like to write music and to write my own philosophy. Enjoy meeting new people and gaining new experiences. Currently in Bogota Colombia, I am about to start work as an English teacher in an institute. I started my own business 1 year ago in Manchester with my grandfather and since then I have only looked back whilst I travel. I have a good ear for hip hop, house music, tech house and always enjoy finding new music to listen to.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing to meet new people, improve my languages and to experience cities as they should be from the perspective of a inhabitant. Stop me from falling into all of the tourist traps! To teach and learn new things!

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite music at the moment is mushroom jazz 2, and some hip hop either from the 1980´s such as jazzmatazz or big daddy kane and Large Professor. for films and books as they are such large catagories i dont know where to start at this moment in time. Favorite book right now is Alice in Wonderland and for films it depends what is on or how much time I have to watch it

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I started my own business, there is nothing better than being your own boss, I started a year ago when my grandfather retired he asked would I like to start and work with him and it was the best desicion I have ever done. One year on I have a warehouse and a lot of antiques and random things that I enjoy to buy and sell. Love sitting down with a customer and having a tea whilst they have a look through the collection. As well as the excitement of describing where an object has come from or asking what use they think it had.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach English, recently learned how to juggle and really enjoy teaching that and learning new tricks, like card tricks, do acrobatics. Learning anything! Absolutely anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Its what you want to learn, I am good at anything I put my mind to. Working in panama I learnt how to be a carpenter and also a resident electrician. I paint mostly abstract things and i can share with you my philosophical ideas aswell as my music and its your guess.
