About Me

ABOUT ME

NOTE - I don't live in Leeds, I live in Knaresborough, between Leeds and York. Often in Leeds for work, though! Apologies if slow replies - I never get notifications on my phone for some reason.

I work as a translator/interpreter and data reporter at football matches.

I love music, travelling, football, reading, speaking languages, visiting as many places as possible and hanging out and having a beer!

Countries I have visited: Wales, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Rep.of Ireland, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, Holland, Norway, Italy, Greece, Morocco, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Portugal, Hungary, Ukraine, Switzerland, Ecuador, Colombia, Paraguay, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, Vatican City, Denmark, Poland, Sweden, Romania, Moldova.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I can show people around Knaresborough, England, where i'm living at the moment, and host - weekdays are best. I can teach languages and endless pointless music and football trivia.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

surfed in cartagena, spain, for three nights back in january 2011, had an awesome time! later that year i was hosted in buenos aires, montevideo and sao paulo, all great experiences too. in 2014 i surfed in gijon and burgos, which again were awesome times. Again in denmark in june 2015 - once again, great people. gobowen in england in october and talavera de la reina and mérida in spain in december were my other CS experiences of 2015. in 2016 i surfed in oviedo, el barco de valdeorras, braga, guimaraes, stockholm, zafra and cáceres. so far in 2017 i've surfed in león, malpica, vigo (spain) and iasi and bucharest (romania) - all really fun too.

I’ve hosted a couple of times and keen to welcome more people to Knaresborough!

i'm extremely grateful to everyone i have ever surfed with - i can't thank any of you enough, it's without doubt the best way to travel and meet people and every time i go couchsurfing it makes me feel great about the human race and people in general, the kindness, openness and warmth of strangers is a wonderful thing.
