About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I quit my job in London at the end of August and am taking some time out before my new job starts in mid November. I decided to come to Colombia to study Spanish (Ya he tomado classes antes de esso, y yo puedo hablar un poquito) and go travel for a while.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

iHOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm currently in Medellin studying Spanish, after which I have around 6 weeks traveling around Colombia. My friend recommended couch surfing to me so I thought I would give it a try - it seems a really interesting way to meet new people and see the country, and also hopefully practice my Spanish along the way!
