I am 24 years old from the United Kingdom and I have just spent 6 months in Cali Colombia!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I absolutely love the philosophy of the app and it seems the perfect way to experience the country. I am eager to get local’s insights and recommendations and make friends along the way.

I am definitely a people person and love conversing with others. Couchsurfing offers the perfect opportunity to connect with people I otherwise would never have met. I am keen to discuss life, politics or just about anything with my hosts and through this process grow as a person by encountering different perspectives.

Interests

My two primary interests are music and reading but I do enjoy exploring other things. I have been meditating for over 3 years. Although I’m still an amateur in the grand scheme of things I can definitely offer some help in getting started.

I have been learning to DJ over the last 9 months focusing primarily on house music but I am interested to discover any dance music you may also enjoy!

I am also a big football (soccer) fan, following a small London club called AFC Wimbledon (the same place as the tennis). I have recently got into basketball as well living in the US, made even better by KU winning the national championship! I have been going to games since I could walk and so have a great insight into the great and awful parts of football culture.

Other more minor interests include: festivals, gym, art, podcasts

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to a fairly diverse range of music primarily: rock (60/70s), US hip hop (80s-00s), house/tech, jazz, blues, funk, reggae

I don’t consider myself a film buff however I have made my way through a considerable number of “must see” films. I will watch pretty much anything but I prefer films that make you think

This is one topic I can speak on for hours! I always have a book on the go preferring non-fiction on topics such as politics, philosophy, economics, psychology and some basic sciencey stuff. I do also try and stay cultured with some literature, a few authors I’ve enjoyed reading are Orwell, Huxley and Dostoyevsky

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went skydiving in Australia aged 14

Teach, Learn, Share

As I have lived in Colombia for the past 6 months I can offer you an insight into the cultural differences and similarities of our two countries!

I absolutely love to learn and so have an opinion on pretty much anything! I doubt you will have an interest that I am not at the very least curious to learn about/discuss.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I’m keen to share my experiences of living in Colombia for the past few months and my travels around the world. I value genuine connection and am excited to meet new people and discuss their opinions and personal philosophies. I am very laid back, clean and respectful (citation needed) and may, if it’s a particularly good day, even offer you some laughs.
