About Me

Having spent the last four years working in London I decided to mix things up and move over here to Medellin, arriving a little over five weeks ago. I am currently working for an educational foundation where I teach English at a school on the outskirts of the city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am really keen to improve my Spanish which is currently very basic. I work with a tutor twice a week however feel that the best way to improve quickly is to live with native speakers. I think it also helps to properly embrace the culture.

Interests

I'm a keen footballer and try and play a couple of times a week. I also love my music and have an eclectic taste from house to classical. My background is engineering (mechanical) so I'm also into 3D design and printing.
