-Hosting-
I'm leaving Barcelona at the end of June, so I'll only be available to host up until the 15th
19.02.16: I can only accept 2 guests per month because my flatmate has a problem with Couchsurfers - make your requests good!
I've only got room for one person at a time and I get many requests - I'm inclined to host people who send personal, intelligent messages that show some of your personality!
-----------
I grew up in the countrysides around Glasgow, Melbourne and Leeds (which makes me a British-Australian dual citizen in the eyes of passport control), who is more fascinated than ever with different landscapes, cultures, flora and fauna.
My parents were both interested in travelling the world as young adults and that didn't stop when I was born, so I've been lucky enough to see and experience different cultures and landscapes while my young brain was still developing. As a result I'd say I've become very liberal as an adult and passionate about people and places the world over - I try my hardest to remain open-minded and I value the same quality in others. If we get chatting about all that is wrong (and right) with the world then you'll probably realise I'm an idealist more than a pragmatist, which I'm fine with. The day my idealism dies, so does my spirit!
I lived in the Costa Blanca and Nicaragua for some time so I speak a 'communicative' amount of Spanish and I'm massively eager to learn more as well as Catalan (viva Catalunya) so I'm really keen to meet locals and teach each other about our languages and cultures (or lack of in my case - ha!)
Interests
If I could categorise the things that interest me neatly into a little list, it would look like this...;
- Environment & ecology 
- Science 
- Arts 
- Rave and soundsystem culture (I've got a love of music which a few years ago introduced me to raves and the dance music scene, soon after I began DJ-ing dubstep and drum & bass music and helped run a night called ::definition in North Wales. Listen to a few of my mixes, if you're interested, at http://www.mixcloud.com/bheinnmeikle) 
- Cultures and culture-blending 
- Socialism, equality and other concepts likely to ignite a civil war this century 
- Creating things 
- Reading 
- Photography (I enjoy landscapes and when I get sick of their superficiality then I wish I was good at something with more social commentary) 
- Cooking 
- Camping
...and finally 'travelling' which I suppose is fairly obvious (and ambiguous) given we're using Couchsurfing!
