About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Complete my bucket list or die trying.

ABOUT ME

I wanna meet everyone in the world who's worth meeting.

I grew up in a large family so I love being with groups of people and making new friends everywhere I go. I will try anything once and I'm constantly learning new things (instruments/languages/skills) and I have a love affair with food. I will cook you something delicious, what would you like? When you finish eating, we party...

PHILOSOPHY

Sing your own song now and sing it loud, because some day your voice will die, but if your song is true it will ring forever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Travelling this summer and hopefully I'll host some surfers once I start back to college in September.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

It's coming, watch this space

Interests

I love music, I've been singing since before I could speak and I play guitar which is great for any session. If you play something let's jam!

I'm also addicted to DJing at the moment, which means I'm listening to music all the time.

Art, Film and Theatre - I'm mad for a bitta culture!

I'm into Rock climbing, Parkour and Gymnastics but not very good at any of them, teach me your sport, I'm dying to learn!

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies // I love so many but here's a few: Fight Club, American Beauty, Into the Wild, The Lord of the Rings, Spirited Away (or any studio Ghibli films), The Lives of Others, Cinema Paradiso, Any Pixar movie really, It Happened One Night (oldie but a goodie), Oldboy, Cool Hand Luke, Sin City, V for Vendetta, Trainspotting

Music // I will sing and dance to almost any music from Blues rock, folk, metal, classical, jazz, Hip hop, pop, techno, disco and house. You name it! I appreciate all good music in the right context.

Books // I don't have enough time to read all the books that I want but you'll generally find me reading a Non -fiction and a Fiction book. I like to read books on philosophy, psychology, science, productivity, seduction/relationships, learning, nutrition, health, fitness, culture and arts. But for some fiction I also love Hunter S. Thompson's stuff, Jack Kerouac, John Steinbeck among many others.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I once sang in front of a thousand people in a church, at the time I was nervous and afterward I was glad to get it over with, but looking back it was a pretty amazing thing to do and I was only around 16 years old. I'm not a religious person but being in a catholic school at the time was asked to represent the school at the inauguration of the local bishop. It was a great opportunity, I don't really get that nervous in front of crowds anymore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to cook different things, I'm very versatile with food, I used to be a vegetarian for 2 years and now I eat mainly low carb meals so I know how to mix it up.

I can teach you to play music or dj, I can help you with your singing or share so much new music and old music that you might not know about.

I can teach you about art, show you different works or artists. Would you like some help with drawing or prinmaking? Maybe we could even make some work, you don't need experience to enjoy transforming a space or to make a masterpiece!
