About Me

CURRENT MISSION
I've been living in Colombia adventuring for the last year. I'm off back home now, but not before I visit a few cool places around the world. Cannot wait to hit New York - Vancouver - Japan - China and India. Going solo but meeting a few mates and my sister along the way.

ABOUT ME
I'm half British half Colombian and grew up in London town. I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to travel all over the world. As a result I'm addicted to fearlessly exploring new places and meeting new people.

PHILOSOPHY
Fear nothing but regret

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I'd rather get involved and see things from a locals perspective. I highly value the advice of locals and have never used a Lonely Planet so even if you can't host me I'd appreciate any tips!

Interests

I'm enjoying life in general at the moment. But my passions lie in good music, good company, good food and nature.

I play lots of sports - Football, Rugby, Rowing, Triathlon, Swimming, Basketball, Badminton, Tennis.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took my cat to the vet once and it escaped in the car and started running around on the dashboard, it was amazing.
