CURRENT MISSION

To meet new interesting people from all over the world

ABOUT ME

I am a positive optimistic happy guy with a deep interest in meeting people from different places, whether that be in my home country or travelling around myself. I love cooking, yoga, current affairs, business/marketing and putting the world to rights with a nice glass of wine. I enjoy karaoke, going out, visiting UNESCO world heritage sights, going for meals and many other things.

I've lived in Cuba, Mexico (twice), Spain, Argentina, UK, Canada, UAE and France however now I am embarking on the craziest trip of my life, leaving the rat race behind me to live out of backpack, travelling around the world working from my laptop.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm an eternal optimist who believes the glass is always half full.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I joined Couchsurfing before I went to live in Grenoble, France to do my Masters and met a couple of nice people for coffee.

Then did a lot hosting and organizing/attending CS events in London.

Ahora vivo en Mexico y me gustaria regresar a la comunidad!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Mainly hosting in London up to now - have met some great and interesting people and made some good friends in the process.

I've also couchsurfed in South Africa, staying with a guy from Zimbabwe who had the same surname as me and showed us some really warm Southern African hospitality.

We're now accepting more requests and are especially interested in people from little known or different countries!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Queueing up for hours in the wee small hours of the morning to get to the front of the crowd and see Fidel Castro give a speech in front of over a million people and feeling the atmosphere consume you completely!

Teach, Learn, Share

hmmmmm,

My passion is cooking and food - i love cooking with wine, sometimes i even put it in the food! (UPDATE - CURRENTLY I AM ALCOHOL FREE)

Im a qualified English teacher so I guess I could teach a bit of English, or Spanish to beginners.
I have a masters in International Business and like to look at different theories in business and politics.
I work in digital marketing and create marketing strategies for brands if anyone wanted to talk about that!
I can also flick my pen round my thumb, I guess I could teach you to do that too!
