Work in politics in London, graduate in Law from Oxford and UCL, keen on travel and language learning, trying to learn Russian and Arabic! Currently looking for a place to stay in London for a couple weeks whilst I save up for a deposit. I’m more than happy to host people when I’m at home in Gibraltar to make up for the travel experiences I’m missing out in that period, and give people an insight into this city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Looking to host people at home or university, or at least take them around and show them the cities! I'm currently travelling through the Middle East (Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq) and it would be nice to meet up with people on there through this.

Music, Movies, and Books

Anything by Dostoevsky or Chekhov! Also a fan of Orwell’s essays. Currently reading about the history of the Middle East/Africa as I feel my knowledge is lacking in those areas!

Music-wise, I’m quite into experimental hip hop, most electronic music (particularly minimal/Romanian techno/breakbeat/acid) but would love to hear about the music of your culture!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Swam around the Rock of Gibraltar (12km) for charity; hiked solo and stayed with nomadic families in rural Kyrgyzstan; drove down the Pamir Highway in Tajikistan.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Random travel anecdotes, can DJ your party, can try and teach English/Spanish/French
