About Me

Hello! I'm a 22-year old sun worshipping English person, so obviously was born on the wrong continent. I live and study Spanish and Portuguese in Bristol, the funnest city in the U.K (in my opinion) that doesn't take itself seriously and is full of people doing art and putting on music events of all kinds.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Probably the same reason as most people- it makes travelling so much better when you're lucky enough to meet people who live all year round in the place you're visiting. Otherwise, you're just a tourist wandering around and missing all of the true experiences of the place!

I will start hosting people in Bristol once I return from my trip to Brazil. I'll be in Brazil from the 20th December until the 14th February.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favourite singer is Otis Redding and I love lots of music from motown to disco, and then I also love modern hip-hip, soul and r&b, such as Frank Ocean, Lauryn Hill and the Robert Glasper Experiment. I also like any music you can dance to! House, Dancehall etc :D

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I lived in Bogota for four months and worked for a gay rights charity, and met a 60 year old photographer who let me stay in his spare room, and wouldn't accept rent except for me cooking english meals for him, and watching films together...An amazing man and an amazing time.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'd love to teach English and do language exchanges with people...
same goes for cooking swaps - I love cooking and baking.
