About Me

Hi, I am an easy going guy, who enjoys learning new languages and new cultures. I'm about to go an a 4 month trip which will take me from Toronto, NYC, Rio, Sao Paulo, Buenos Aries, Bolivia, Chile, Machu Piccu (hopefully) Lima, La, San Fran, Las Vegas, Sydney, Tokyo and Bangkok and that's just the places I've booked, so no idea where I could end up!

Love movies, as I used to work in the cinema. Enjoy most sports, and enjoy mostly drum and bass music as well as some rock and hip hop, as long as the beat is good!

I always try to see the funny side of things, and prefer to laugh about things than see the bad!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So as mentioned above, I'm on a 4 month trip around the world and its a once in a life time opportunity for me. I've been on holidays and stayed in hotels, but I'd like this trip to be different and let me really get to know local people who can show me the local secrets, such as local sights, restaurants, bars etc.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorites movies is hard to choose because I have seen so many since I worked in cinema, I would say among my favorites are Shawshank Redemption, Pulp Fiction and Fight Club.

Music wise, I really enjoy drum and bass, some rock, hip hop etc it all depends on the beat.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I think the most amazing thing I've "almost done" is this trip, it's 4 months of my life trying to see as many places around the world as possible, trying to soak up as much culture, knowledge, language and experiences as possible. Think I'm going to be so tired after this trip I'll need another holiday!

Teach, Learn, Share

Think some quotes about travelling here would be best;

“Better to see something once than hear about it a thousand times”

"Don't tell me how educated you are, tell me how much you have travelled?"

“If you reject the food, ignore the customs, fear the religion and avoid the people, you might better stay home.”

What I Can Share with Hosts

I promise to make you laugh! My laugh is known to make people laugh on its own, and I laugh a lot!
