CURRENT MISSION

To make St Andrews a more progressive, diverse place open to all! (gotta start small now folks!)

ABOUT ME

I'm a long-time traveller and member of Couchsurfing who has been a little bit too sedentary of late! Recent Social Anthropology and Spanish graduate who is now involved in student politics as the President of the St Andrews Uni Students Association.Open-minded, progressive and a wee bit adventurous as well!

PHILOSOPHY

I try to live my life in a moral way, sticking to principles of community, democracy, equality, human rights, social justice, etc. Also try to be open-minded to the views of others and promote mutal respect and dialogue.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Have mostly surfed in Latin America and a bit in Spain, where I met some fantastic people and had some great experiences. Can't always host because have been in student housing, but now more possibilities and always up for meeting meeting for a drink or coffee and showing them around St Andrews or Glasgow if I'm around...Have participated in a few couchsurfing meet-ups in my time, from Edinburgh to Montevideo!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Had a fantastic time couch-hopping in Granada a few years ago, and have made a few good friends through Couchsurfing in Latin America, especially Argentina....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Had dinner with the Palestinian Ambassador the other week, that was pretty cool!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: Mmm, I speak Spanish and French, which isn't bad for a Scot, but is fairly normal for all you wondeful internationals who are great at languages, so could pass that on.Am a fairly decent cook, and like to think I know my stuff on the political front and should be able to wax lyrically about anthropology and a four-year degree! Unfortunately one of my greatest current skills, running, isn't really transferable!Learn:Share:
