About Me

My view of myself might be different from the view other people have of me, I try not to worry too much what other people think, you are who you are.

I'm an energetic, positive person. I love jumping into the unknown and seeing what might have changed when I get to the other side. Travelling is a huge passion of mine, meeting people from all different walks of life, cultures, countries, backgrounds. Sharing stories and experiences are just some ways I enjoy getting to know new friends, having travelled a lot myself I always want to hear about places in the world, foreign or local.

I have a large family and they are extremely important to me, although when I am outside of the UK I naturally make friends and companions that quickly become my family away from home.

Couch surfing is something I have always been interested in but have not used so much. Partly because messaging a stranger for a place to stay can be a little unsettling, but mainly because most of my trips I have met such great people in the local communities, bars or the backpacker hostels and have ended up travelling with groups I met through those ways. I would like to start using it more and meeting people through it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I set up my account but haven't used it too much, I like to find things out about places from locals. Hopefully this can help!

Interests

Things that make my life engaging is not knowing where things will take me and finding out what different parts of the world have to offer. I love a good party and making friends any way I can.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music lover, all sorts! It depends on the situation and the vibes, anything from house, garage to hip hop, acoustic, soul, reggae. Latin America has broadened the list a lot!

Scar tissue, marching powder

Sin nombre, Che, Rock n Rolla,

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Putting my life in a backpack and leaving the UK after spending my life around family and friends. It's been nearly 4 years and my intentions for going back are just to visit. I need to see more!

Teach, Learn, Share

Since being interested in and traveling around South America have been trying my best to learn Spanish, I don't like classrooms so much so I have just learnt whilst travelling and meeting locals. I like to share with people that want to learn English, unfortunately I don't speak other languages but maybe after Spanish I can move to another. Una cosa a la vez.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I like to cook, learning new dishes from different countries is perfect. Not forgetting sharing the ones I love.
