About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get back on the road.

ABOUT ME

Ok I'm just going to include everything in here. I am interested in many things currently I play football, am learning samba drumming as well as salsa and merengue, I just started a arabic course.
i am interested in most areas of politics but particually conflict resolution, international relations, development, environmental politics and sociological areas. but i struggle to study sometimes because my brain is too tired.
i love travelling but am now desperate to learn some languages which i think would add to my experience.

so that was 2 and 1/2 years ago. I am now travelling in South America studying portuguese and spainish as I go and getting involved in volunteer projects en route. Very very lazy trip but throughly enjoying just living a more-or-less normal life within country. In my sloth like way am heading for Mexico. Dad please don`t ask what I am going to do when I get back.

PHILOSOPHY

El momento de ser feliz, es ahora. The time to be happy is now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Currently participating by meeting people along my travels. But the only things which vaguely give me a will to stop travelling a find a base is to have a herb garden and host couch surfers. Whenever I have a couch people will be more than welcome. The second best thing to travelling is having travellers come to you.
