About Me

I'm always seeking for a great perhaps and an adventure of a lifetime!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

There's no better way of exploring a country than through the way of life of a local. The genuine connection you experience when you meet people who are so passionate to share their country with you is very infectious and I absolutely adore it!

Interests

I'm a dog person but cats are always welcome too. And I believe ART has a way of changing the world!

Music, Movies, and Books

Indie folk/pop/rock, Jazz, RandB, Reggae, Tropical.
All movies from Taika Waitit, Wes Anderson and Hayao Miyazaki.
And of course LOTR andThe Hobbit! We cannot be real amigos unless you have watched them.
I really like indie magazines and I am open to any genre of books. Please recommend me some good reads as well if you have any!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I'm not a fan of extreme sport but I challenged myself on 08/07/16 to skydive through the beautiful landscapes of Middle Earth.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning Spanish now and I can only order tacos in español (for now), even though according to Augustos, that's all you really need to know! ;)

I've also packed kiwis in New Zealand for 4 months, so I can teach you how to pick out the best kiwis. And by kiwis, I meant the fruit and not the bird or the people.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm currently in my penultimate year of studying Anthropology and Sociology in Durham University. So I'm always up for a discussion about culture/ tradition/ religion/ society and just about how the world works in general.

I did a diploma in Media and Communication in Singapore as well, so I can share with you my knowledge of the media & advertising industry.

I'm also proficient in using various Adobe softwares such as Illustrator, PremierPro, Photoshop and InDesign. I love art and design, so I'll be more than happy if you need me to give you my opinions on various aesthetics :D
