I'm a 25 year old guy from London, currently living in Madrid, Spain.

In London I worked as a Branch Manager for an electronics company, before I moved to Spain to teach English. I fell in love with photography and videography and taught myself these skills. I'm now a full-time freelance creative.

Creative storytelling is my passion and I've been lucky enough to travel around the world for work.

I've lived in London, South Africa, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and now I'm based in Madrid.

Yo hablo un poco de Español, pero entiendo mas o menos.

I like travel, creativity and cats.

I have hair, and I can reach the top shelf.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm hoping to find people with interesting stories that I can craft into visually artistic films.

I want to take photos of new faces around the world.

I want to meet and connect with people that are passionate about, well, anything.

I would love to be hosted by locals in the different countries that I travel to.

Music, Movies, and Books

Afrobeats are life. Reggaeton is life. Foreign language music is life. Music in general is life.

Favourite book is probably a toss up between the Artemis Fowl series, Inkheart, and Sapiens.

Favourite movie might be the Dark Knight, though I love anything that's cinematic af or has a powerful story.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In the past three months I've: visited the United States for the first time, filmed luxury retreats in Belize and Malta, filmed a sober experience of Oktoberfest in Munich, swam with sharks and flown a plane.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach photography, videography, and English.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories from my travels around the world.
