Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Because I believe in welcoming and helping strangers.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have experience of staying with hosts and helping others on their travels, but not strictly through Couchsurfing.com A few Couchsurfers have found my Speak Machine Cultural Exchange night held at Bugalu in El Puerto de Santa Maria.

Interests

Most of my time is spent teaching English, volunteering for local NGO's and my own project Speak Machine, learning spanish, travelling around Europe during the holidays and. In my previous life I have been a traveller and teacher in Central America, a community artist in Wales, and a Fashion Designer in the West Midlands.
