About Me

CURRENT MISSION

discover and explore as many Latin Americas as I can

ABOUT ME

I try to be as open minded as I can be, and to listen and learn from those I meet. Hopefully I can be fun to meet as well. Beyond this I don´t want to reel off a list of adjectives describing myself here so instead i´ll just say that at the moment I´m journeying through Latin America after finally having enough money to do so, having a grand time doing so and not wanting to think about when I have to stop and go home.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

CS is a new thing for me, but in Buenos Aires I had a great time being hosted, got shown around the city by some lovely people, met some fellow travellers and did some mutually helpful Spanish/English exchange as well. I will be using CS for all this elsewhere as well. When I finally get home and if I live somewhere people will actually visit I intend to host too - that way I can continue travelling in my own home

Interests

I play the guitar and piano at home (and any chance i get elsewhere). Currently trying to improve my rhythm by playing Djembe. Love findin and sharing new music to listen to, reading, having a beer, and generally chatting to and meeting people.

Travelling at the moment and trying to improve my photography skills as I go

Cycle my fixie whenever possible, play badminton, five-a-side football, completed a few long distance runs, half marathons etc, and i'm generally happy to try my hand at most things.
