About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learn Spanish & ride our bikes around Spain & Cuba

ABOUT ME

It's so hard to ever give an accurate description of yourself... We prefer meeting people and letting them make up their own minds.

PHILOSOPHY

Spend time helping those who need help more than you do
Don't ever think that there's nothing more to learn
Never let apathy creep in
Tolerance
Less is more
Show love

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Good and great

Interests

Mutual = avoiding conformity & apathy, thunder storms, great films, social change, wine, bike riding, reading, awesome food markets, sustainability, travel, listening to peoples' stories, learning

Mal = pottery, Polish beer, walking around while I brush my teeth, waterfall showers, Nutella, breaking those hard dried-up bits of sand on the beach, dancing

Berish = using the same tea bag twice, blankets, 80% or above dark chocolate, minimising wastage, keeping a limited wardrobe so as to make dressing easier
