About Me

PHILOSOPHY

"You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind." - Timothy Leary

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

While I was living in Barcelona I helped host a multitude of couch surfers with my flatmates!

People I've hosted/co-hosted (you won't see some as references because they're listed under my flatmate, Eric Marcos):

Caroline Stibbe - Germany
Tran Bui and Julie Daubois - Canada
Aurelien Vitse and friends - France
Egle Baltrunaite - Estonia
Arie Litovsky, Catalina Cuervo, Blake Farha, Lauren Partin - United States
Natascha and Alexandra Uszkurat - United Kingdom

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

My favorite experiences were always chances I had to take guests out into the city and show them what I love most about it. It's almost like seeing everything for the first time.

I can teach annoyingly-correct English, how to play Radiohead songs on guitar, and how to cook a few Mexican dishes.

I'd love to learn some cuisine of your own culture, and how to drive a car with manual transmission.
