I'm in to all that life can give. I take what's given and won't complain! I was born in Argentina and raised on the British isles, with a time in Northern Ireland on a farm, and have a very mixed heritage. I love to experience and meet new people, and I'm always up for trying something new. I produce my own music and love sports of all kinds. I'm relaxed and love to talk philosophical, and I'm not afraid to exit my comfort zone. I am a professional photographer and love to watch the world go by. My first job was working with my family on a farm and doing gardening so I love handy work, I'm and arts and crafts, and I worked for a couple of years as a chef in gastropubs, and I am learning to be a chocolatier. I try to remain humble and find it difficult to talk about my achievements, but I'm open and honest about everything I do.

To me the most important languages are food and music.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on couchsurfing to meet new people and experience life the way the locals live and know it. I have family in many different countries and always consider staying with someone who lives in the place your going the best way to learn about the cultures and sub cultures that you wouldn't find otherwise as a tourist.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music is my passion, I like true hip-hop, the breaks, synthetic, electronic, algorithmic, bass, rock, folk, techno, drum and bass, ambient, trip-hop, psychedelic, but I'm not limited to any genre.

The same with movies, if it's good I like them. I like long slow movies with good cinematography such as Gerry by Gus Van Sant and Enter the Void, but I also like comedy and thrillers with a good plot. Films like The Assassination of Jesse James, There Will Be Blood, A Guide to Losing your Saints etc

I like magic realism, Garcia Marquez, Murakami, Palahniuk, Hemingway and descriptive text.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

A group of friends and I decided to play volleyball one Wednesday, and when we arrived at the courts there turned out to be a tournament. None of us had played together before and none of us expected to have to compete in a tournament, but we came out as winners, and had to each pay our £2.50 entrance fee to receive our medals.

Teach, Learn, Share

To really see what's going on, we must first close our eyes and listen to the world.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have an open mind, I can cook, I am a professional photographer and I have been to many places, so I can share what I have experienced in a way that I know how, along with games, sports, going out and also a different perspective on things without any need to conform
