Hi :) I am Oli. I live in London and work as a playwright most of the time. I host more than travel nowadays but I love being able to talk about people's lives, and getting to know people over a drink or a walk. I host in London, though my girlfriend's profile is used to organise this (https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/heidi-marchant)

I love camping and being out in nature, and really immersing myself in a country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I used couchsurfing in my travels through the US in 2015 and slept on people's beds from Austin to New Orleans, and it made the trip so much more memorable. I want to use CS to see some real culture around the world, see and do something different and memorable, and meet people doing it. :)

*** I am returning to Couchsurfing because I will be travelling around southern Mexico for two months between 22nd January and 18th March. I want to improve my Spanish and meet locals. I have never been to a predominately Spanish-speaking country before so it'll be a big change but I'm excited about it :) ***

Interests

I love films and books, music and photography, a nice cafe and a gorgeous sunrise, I can chat history and psychology, love playing football and dancing ballet and getting into community gardening.

Teach, Learn, Share

I really want to improve my Spanish so thought travelling to Mexico by myself would drop me in the deep end. I want to chat to people who have experienced a different part of life to me. I love hearing about new things and just learning more and more through my life.
