ABOUT ME
At present, my life is a bit topsy turbo and I am in between places.
PHILOSOPHY
I think you should make the most of opportunities and make opportunities; they generally don't just land on your doorstep.
Also, I try, not always successfully, not to be blinded by the problem but see the solution.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I love attending Csing meeting. I try and get to the intercambios and have been free hugging in Barcelona and Milan with Csing, I took part in the Freezing Milan in April 08. I've CS in a few places and had great experiences in all.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Couchsurfing has taken me hiking in the Cheq Rep, supping coffee in Rome, hugging strangers in the streets of Barcelona, dinner parties in Milan, running and drinking while following pieces of flour in Italy (HHH), making new friends in Pavia who showed me the best gelateria, drinking tea while putting the world to rights in Novara and making new friends around the world.

Music, Movies, and Books
I've recently read the little prince by Antoine de Sant Exupery. It was excellent, one of the most profound childrens books ever. I like Paulo Coelho book and think they are the best books for reading in foriegn languages. I am also a bit of a chicklet fan whilst oving the classics like Austen, Shakespeare etc..
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I worked as a volunteer at the London 2012 Olympic Games. It was amazing how many people were willing to give up there time and work for free.
Teach, Learn, Share
I speak Spanish and English so I can help people out there.
I walked the Camino Santiago a few years ago, I've lived for several years in Spain so I can share my experiences.
At present i want to learn to play an instrument.
