CURRENT MISSION

My current mission is to travel and have fun, eating my way around South America

ABOUT ME

I decided to relocate to South America for a while after reading too much Borges and drinking too much Malbec. I am not particularly sure where I want to end up but I am currently navigating around Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil in the search for the definitive asado. During this time I am always looking for a fun way to meet people and if you could spare a couch or a bit of floor space I would be very grateful and cook you a lovely dinner... I am pretty easy-going and adventurous but still enjoy good conversation and wine!

PHILOSOPHY

Dive straight in.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have really enjoyed couchsurfing in South America so far meeting some great people and families along the way. I hope that all the positive experiences continue and that I may host some people in the future.

Interests

Travel, culture, food, new situations, the arts - a little bit of everything really. It would be easier to say I don't like celery. Although I am willing to keep trying it until I do.

Music, Movies, and Books

Where do I start? I studied World Literature at University so to name my favourite books would dominate the page but to namedrop a few I guess: Borges, Garcia Marquez, Kafka and occassionally the odd trashy thriller. Movies would take a Spanish/fantasy theme: most films by Almodovar, Guillermo del Toro, Tim Burton, and Julio Medem. Music: anything good, blues, jazz, 'world', folk, just so long as it doesn't involve reggeaton!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
