About Me

I am an international firefighter who just moved to Seville from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia so the city is still super new to me and I’m always up for finding new friends to explore it and the amazing areas around Andalusia with. I also used to live in the Caribbean where I hosted surfers all the time and made some amazing lifelong friends so don’t hesitate to hit me up for some advice on the best spots or to crash at my place!

If it’s an activity outside, you can count me in. I love hiking, SUP on the river in Seville, road trips to all the wild and interesting spots here, biking, or just aimlessly wandering around the city grabbing random tapas and cervezas.

I also love road trips so if you want to go on a drive to the beach or any of the awesome small towns in Andalusia I’m your guy!

I also read a ton, mostly sci-fi, my favorite book is Speaker for the Dead.

I’m a big movie fan as well, especially animated films like Bolt or Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. My favorite of all time is Garden State.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

This January I took some friends on an 8 day expedition into the 4th largest cave in the world in Vietnam.

Teach, Learn, Share

I moved to Seville without any Spanish but I am learning quickly so if you are interested in language exchange let’s hang out and trade hilariously broken conversation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Really shitty jokes, amazing home cooked meals, fully stocked liquor cabinet, road trips to all of my Andalusian secrets.
