About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Living and working in Singapore!

ABOUT ME

Love to spend quality time exploring new places, surfing, cooking, hanging out with friends and just chilling with a good book.
Give me somebody to talk or do things together and I can spend all my life happy :)

PHILOSOPHY

Life is all about balance.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used to live in a sharehouse in London and we had a couple of surfers from Israel, Spain and New Zealand. They were all very cool people, so only positive experiences :)

Interests

One of the life goals is to learn another language. After travelling in South-Central America for 14mths, I can kind-of speak Spanish, so looking forward to maintaining and improving.

Also while I was in Latin America I got the surfing bug! Will be getting the coast as often as possible now.

Before I went travelling I was attempting to learn guitar, so if you can teach me a few songs that would be very sweet :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The Galapagos Islands were amazing. Highlight was swimmng with a seal (although I think it may have had depression)
I went to China with the national team when I was 16. Easily the biggest culture shock I´ve had to date.

Teach, Learn, Share

I´m a pretty good cook (mum´s family is Italian) so I´d be happy to do dinner swaps! Also I really enjoy music and am always searching for new bands, DJs and songs.
