About Me

CURRENT MISSION

to have fun, meet new people and see the world. I've booked my flights and arrive in Lima, Peru towards the end of the year for four months and will be travelling through Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Bolivia and Venezuela, I really cant wait as I simply love travelling, seeing amazing new places and making lots of good life long friends along the way. If you live in the above countries please get in contact and we can meet up for a beer or maybe you could show me around. I've made lots of good friends on my previous three trips to South America and I'm looking forward to making more with luck.

ABOUT ME

Im Andy

Im an outgoing, adventorous guy who is up for pretty much anything. Love sports, studied to post graduate level and wanna go out and see the world! Find it difficult to write about myself in these types of things but Im a person who loves to learn everything there is to know about anything. I love travelling (having been brought up by a mother who like Mr T from the A-Team hated flying - so long distance holidays as a child were restricted to Cornwall, Devon or Wales - so Im trying to make up for lost time!!) I love music of all tastes but my favourite is electronic music - love to go out at a weekend for drinks,to relax and socailise with friends. Always want to prove to people from other nations that stereotypes are just that and we English bods are one of the nicest people you will meet anywhere in the world.

Love Travelling, have an unhealthy obsession with South America (where I have been 3 times in the last 10 years) , love meeting new people, oh and partying every now and then!!

Looking to get in touch with people who can spare some time to meet up and have some fun showing me around their city. I will likewise gladly show you around Bristol or meet up for a few drinks and take you for some beers in Harbourside, Kings Street or The Gloucester Road.

PHILOSOPHY

Just enjoy life to the maximum and make some good friends along the way
