About Me

Born and raised in the tiny island of Malta, to be exact Marsascala, a small fishing village in the south of Malta. Rachel and I moved to London in 2014 to pursue our careers in technology consultancy and financial auditing. ok, ok, ok... this bio is getting a bit too boring now. Apologies.

Outside of our busy schedules we make it a point to live by our laid-back Mediterranean lifestyle wherever we are, being never ending lunches/diners with family and friends, a glass of good wine or simply chilling to music. When back home in sunny Malta for holidays we enjoy having BBQs by the sea, laze by the beach or go for a hike/camping if its not too hot.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

We're here to meet new people, share stories and experiences from people around the globe. Coming from a small island like Malta we're keen to experience new ideas, cultures and adventures. We'll be traveling for a few months in South America in 2017/2018 and excited to meet new people along the way.
