I have lived in London for most of my life but studied at a french school there, so I speak both English and French fluently. I am a fun loving, highly curious individual who seeks to learn as much as possible from other cultures and people. I am travelling the world for the next few years as I am eager to live a fulfilling and exciting life, and to discover things that I never even knew existed. I am very friendly and can get along with just about anyone, and meeting people along my travels has been massively rewarding in an of itself. I started off travelling in Asia for 6 months in 8 different countries, and then lived in New Zealand for a year working as a chef (technically a cook aha) while playing music in bars, festivals and on the street, which was a pretty awesome experience. My plan is to travel down South America while improving my Spanish and absorbing the culture as much as possible, by interacting with locals and getting a nice tan which will fingers crossed help me to blend in properly (not a realistic ambition due to my English complexion).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing to meet interesting people living or studying in South America, either to practice Spanish with or learn from in a more general sense.

Interests

I have a wide range of interests which ranges from sports to music, film, books, philosophy etc...

• literature
• politics
• music
• hiking
• sports
• travelling

Music, Movies, and Books

All sorts, mainly non fiction but I find Game of thrones type books irresitible.
Rock, Rap, and everything from jazz to classical.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Bathed with elephants in Thailand,
Ayuasca ceremony on a remote farm in Colombia,
Water festival in Myanmar and Laos,
Swam with basking sharks in the Philipines,
Accidentally set fire to a kitchen in New Zealand twice in a day without getting fired (pardon the pun).

Teach, Learn, Share

I have been teaching guitar for the last 5 years so would happily teach someone while couchsurfing.
I have sung for a while now and am a competent drummer if you're interested in learning either.
I am half French and half English so can speak both languages fluently.
My Spanish and Italian is pretty decent but far from a native level.
I would love to learn some Japanese as I have been there twice and am absolutely fascinated by the culture.
I am a competent cook so can teach some intermediate skills, word of warning I'm no Gordon Ramsey however.

Laughter, stories and my dirty laundry 😜
