About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living in Rio and keen to meet new people.

ABOUT ME

Fairly outgoing and social guy. I like going out to dinner and for drinks. I like all the normal stuff like cinema, literature, theatre, traveling etc.

I like to think I am pretty easy to get on with.

PHILOSOPHY

Life can be pretty tough so lets make it as pleasant as possible by being nice, polite and even charming to one another.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Try to help people as much as I can in this crazy, expensive city!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far I just know of a few people who have used CS and they all think it is great and have met some lovely people.

Interests

Arty things... theatre, cinema, art, literature. I don't come from a very sporting family and so as a result do not have much of an interest but would not be against being educated. I am also a bit of a nature geek. I like to know about local flora and fauna and have a particular liking of horse riding (although I have not done very much of it), cats and waterfalls.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like such a mix of everything it is hard to say. I think when something is good, it is good, so it does not matter what genre it belongs to.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Grand Canyon is pretty amazing as are the Cataratas at Foz do Iguaçu. I also have great memories of horse riding over some hills in Tunisia.

Teach, Learn, Share

I trained in Acting and Musical Theatre for 3 years at a god drama school in London so I suppose I could help people with a little bit of dancing, singing and/or acting. Vocal training was part of my course as well so I could help people with accents and pronunciation. Being English I am happy to help people with any problems they may have with written or spoken Enlgish.

At the moment I would really like to learn how to surf (on waves).
