Hi, I'm Elliot, a curious-minded, creatively-inclined, dog-loving dork, from London, England.

I enjoy art, literature, music, movies, science, lots of food, quizzes, frisbee, and the occasional spontaneous adventure (especially if natural landscapes are involved). For work, I’m a filmmaker and ethnographer - so I get to travel quite a bit and pick up lots of interesting stories.

On holiday, I prefer to travel light, without the camera kit - better to be in the moment, with just a notebook and my battered guitar.

I learnt conversational Spanish whilst doing voluntary work in Latin America. And although I spent eight years studying French at school, like most Englishmen, I'm terrible when it comes to actually speaking it.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I love to travel and meet new people along the way. Even better if an adventure is shared, or I can help someone make the most of their time in my city.
