ABOUT ME

Что привело меня на Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have hosted and been hosted, take part in local CS meetings and have also met other CSr's for drinks during travels

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My first experience was a random message from another surfer (Angello Carrizo) i met the most amazing group of people and had the best experience of my life. Language assistants 09/10 I love each and every one of you! These people had some of the best qualites you could wish for in friends, it was more like a family, one that welcomed me with open arms even though i was just a random British guy that Angello had invited out one evening. Beautiful people, beautiful memories. I made soul brothers and sisters, fell in love, drank, danced and laughed!

I did my first ever solo travel to Israel and Palestine(back at end of 2011) and stayed with some great hosts.

Интересы

Музыка, кино и книги

I won't write off lists and lists bust as a basis...

movies: I'm a huge fan of films that encourage a sense of thought and nostalgia. Life in a day/The thin red line/ Biutiful/Babel etc......War/Action...anything with a few bombs, an AK47 and some fast cars and i'm pretty much happy. Do love a good comedy and can deal with the odd chick flick.

Music: Reggaeton, bachata, Drum n Bass, UK Hardcore, New Jack swing, Political hip hop, Folk, Trance, .... - If i'm in a club i will dance to anything.

Books: Paolo Coelho, Gabriel Garcia Maquez, Tolkien, Khalil Gibran, Khaled Hosseini

Классная вещь, которую я сделал(-а)

1.Travelled five and a half thousand miles around the world for love.

2.Went on a mad whirlwind tour of the Holy land

3. Quit a secure government job complete with pension to don a backpack to go and save the world

4. Had a quarter life crisis and quit the job again to return to study (with the end goal of saving the world)

Учу, учусь, делюсь опытом и информацией

I think the kind of experience Couchsurfing offers is not only to learn about other countries and languages etc but also a spiritual exchange. From my own experience i have helped others to discover more about themselves and in turn they taught me things about myself that i don't think i'd have discovered any other way!

I can also teach you to moonwalk ;-)
