About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Experience the varying cultures of South America and to become as fluent in Spanish as possible.

ABOUT ME

First time solo traveller. I finished studying Biomedicine at Manchester University, saved up for 7 months, then flew out to Brazil. Absolutely loving it so far. Would like to try and immerse myself in the local culture if possible.

PHILOSOPHY

Life is short, so you should try and experience as many things as you can within this short period of time. Be it cultures, places, challenges or people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently travelling around South America so will be looking for places to stay in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Hopefully, it will give me an oppurtunity to practice my Spanish speaking that I have been developing in Bolivia.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite film is City of God and my favourite book is 1984. I couldn´t choose a favourite artist/band as I listen to a large varity of music (but mostly rock, indie, metal). If I had to chose a favorite genre it would probably be post rock (Sigur Ros, Mogwai, This Will Destroy You, etc.)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hard to chose just one, but summiting Kilimanjaro is probably the biggest challenge that I´ve accomplished.

Teach, Learn, Share

Willing to practice English speaking with anyone who wants to develop their ability to speak the language.

Countries I’ve Visited

Argentina, Austria, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, Tanzania, United States

Countries I’ve Lived In
