Overview
About Me
Just a Gibraltarian engineer living in Peckham, London.
Helping design and build greener streets for the city since 2019.
Unfortunately I cannot currently host any guests as I'm living in a shared house situation.
However, I'm always happy to get out the house and show people around my favourite spots and bars around South London during the evening or weekend.
Feel free to drop me a message!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have probably taken more flights and stayed in more hotels during my lifetime than any other means of transport and accommodation while travelling. That being said, I have without a doubt far more enjoyed and remembered the fewer adventures over the more recent years where I have hitchhiked with complete strangers, or stayed on someone's couch who I met that same day. Who remembers what they did on a 3 hour flight home? Who can recall the hotel room in Paris they stayed in two years ago? Locals constitute as much of a town or city as the roads and buildings that they use, and Couchsurfing provides a way to meet them, learn from them, and share with them, creating memories that you will remember for a lifetime.

Music, Movies, and Books
From flamenco to funk carioca, Tarantino to Yorgos Lanthimos, I'm open minded when it comes to music and film, and always have a book on the go (much needed commuting material for the metropolis that is London).
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Gotten to where I am today :)) - and this definitely includes having driven up on a 125cc moped from Gibraltar to Barcelona
What I Can Share with Hosts
Anything from tales of past travel experiences to opinions on current international affairs. I'm always up for a chat; both those that turn into deep meaningful conversations as well as just casual chit chat.
I'm also a great sous-chef in the kitchen, and can make some mean pan tumaca in the morning!
