My name is Jack and I'm 19. I live in Henley-on-Thames near Oxford and I have 2 brothers. I'm on a gap year before doing Spanish, Portuguese and Latin American Studies at Newcastle University and I am travelling round South America. For the past few months, I have been a teacher, working in a nightclub, a construction worker, a waiter and customer assistant at Tesco supermarket (All the best jobs...).

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

Want to see the places I'm visiting with local knowledge, advice and as if I lived there myself! Also looking to meet new people.

Intereses

I'm really interested in sport - I play for Henley Town football club and enjoy playing rugby, tennis etc. I also love listening to music (especially live) enjoying all genres. I love sightseeing and having new experiences. Interested in trying some Tango, Salsa or something while travelling... Basically really easy going!

Música, películas y libros

Music: If I want to relax, I might listen to some acoustic music like Tallest Man on Earth, Ady Suleiman or Benjamin Francis Leftwich. Before going out, I might listen to some Hudson Mohawke, Aluna George or Kanye West. I'm easy really!

Movies: Like movies like Motorcycle Diaries and Forest Gump; real life human stories. Not such a fan of loads of sci-fi stuff!

Books: Favourite authors include David Nichols and Nick Hornby.

Algo increíble que he hecho

I´ve just been living in Rocinha in Rio De Janiero for 2 months teaching english to kids and adults. Rocinha is the largest favela in Latin America so it was really interesting to live and work there while also learning some Portuguese!

Enseña, aprende, comparte

I can teach some english but can also speak some portuguese and spanish!
