CURRENT MISSION

mejorar mi español, learn how to dance

ABOUT ME

I live in Cambridge, I am an English teacher. I recently spent 15 months living in south america and am now worried I am going to forget how to speak spanish! I like meeting foreigners!

PHILOSOPHY

This is hard to sum up. Especially as I have been socialised in a climate of British cynicism. I guess I would say I try to be openminded as possible. I like arguing vociferously and passionately about perhaps trivial things, but try to keep myself aware that I may well be wrong.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I live in a small apartment with my parents so I cannot offer you somewhere to sleep, but would like to meet for a coffee/beer.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Phenomenal. Whilst in Ecuador I had planned to spend two days in Cuenca. Because of couchsurfing I met some amazing people and ended up staying ten months.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Most of my experience living in South America (Ecuador and Argentina) was fascinating. Interpreting at a narcotics anonymous meeting in the Ecuadorean amazon, and accidentally living in a shantytown in Argentina have made for good stories

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you some English, or some spanish if you happen to be learning.

I am willing, and hope to learn about almost anything, especially if it conflicts with what I already think!
