About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Just wanna be happy, not just currently, but always : )

ABOUT ME

I love life and try to fit into it as much as possible. I'm a big believer in variety being the spice of life. I've travelled many places and lived in Sydney, Vancouver and Buenos Aires. Right now, I'm living in London, UK (my hometown).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Where ever I'm living I find couchsurfing is a great social start to finding people who are open to meeting and mingling.

I'm always keen on meeting new people and find the best way through this site is to find people through groups in common.

I have found a lovely language exchange partner in the past and met more incredible people that make me happier to be alive.

I've surfed and would like to host but can't right now due to my living situation.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

2011 - Meeting Spanish speakers through the site in order to benefit from Language exchange.

Using the site in Sevilla to meet people while travelling in Andalusia. Going to a CS meeting in Sevilla.

Meeting Suffolk folk through the site in order to learn about my future living quarters...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Experienced a traditional Argentine milonga as a dancer. The tense seriousness of the 'cabacceo' (nod and a wink invite to dance) and the other 'codigos' (rules).
