I’m a friendly British guy on a 5 month sabbatical from work to improve my Spanish and decompress a little bit 😁

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting new people and trying new things is probably my favourite thing and Couchsurfing is pretty ideal for both of those things. Its also a great opportunity to make friends from all across the world when travelling rather than just acquaintances. I split my time between Cambridge and London when I’m in the UK and would love to host some people when I’m back from my travels in May!

Interests

Meditation. Skiing. Hitchhiking. Rugby. Cricket. Kite surfing . Spanish (and Hispanic culture). Learning. Science. Travelling. Meeting new people. My Family. And above all my cat!!

Music, Movies, and Books

Big fan of house, especially deep house but to be honest I’ll listen to pretty much anything. Favourite film is hard but I remember really enjoying Captain Philips and think Tom Hanks is phenomenal. In terms of books I’m generally into non-fiction related to ethics/philosophy/meditation/how our minds work - sounds a bit douchey I’m sure, but promise you I’m not 😙

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Loads of cool things, but don’t want to try and show off (not least because I’ll probably lose the competition given the number of amazing people there are on coachsurfing... 😛) - I’m more interested in what other people have done 🙂 though really happy to tell a good story or two

Teach, Learn, Share

I’m training to be a mindfulness practioner and have run courses before so would be more than happy to lead a guided meditation or two and love discussing people’s experiences from meditation.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m a qualified ski instructor so happy to pass on some tips. As mentioned above training to be a mindfulness practioner so can share my knowledge of that
