About Me

Hey, thanks for visiting my profile. I'm a teacher, busker, activist trying to find my way in the world. I grew up in South America and it will always have a special place in my heart. Leeds is my home now.

I have travelled across USA and South America, and visited Europe and Africa. I love sharing travel stories and learning of new cultures and countries. I think it's crucial to be open to new experiences, be tolerant of others and have respect for different world views and beliefs.

I enjoy conversations over red wine, good food and playing guitar until the sun begins to rise.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Through Couchsurfing I have experienced generous hospitality, meaningful friendship and a renewed outlook on life. As a surfer, I have been humbled by openess I have experienced from hosts, willing to share their home, their friends, their culture. It inspired and challenged me.

As a host, I have discovered the joy of helping people on their journey. Sharing my home, my city and my story is one of the expeiriences I most enjoy about CS.

Interests

I love music, I have a piano and many guitars so if you enjoy music too. I enjoy busking in local towns and cities and help to organise music events in Leeds.

I love sports, especially cycling, walking and football. Yorkshire has some beautiful countryside to explore!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

With a 5 hour lay-over in Cape Town, I rented a car, drove to the base of Table Mountain, caught the cable car up, saw the sunset and made it back to the airport for my return flight.
