I train teachers. Bit of a late developer, butI'm trying to make into academic life. Have permanent institutional job at a big University. I also try to earn a little money from other more entrepreneurial things.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I holiday 5 times a year (way above the means of my lowly academic salary). Also, it looks like a great way of meeting real local people.

兴趣

I love dancing (Samba de Gafieira, Tango, Zouk, Salsa, Bachata, etc., )... I like South American music. I'm a keen website developer, but I also love the old traditional arts (teaching myself how to paint recently).

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

Helped organise a trip for disadvantaged kids from a poor area to go abroad (France) when I was at University).

教，学，和分享

I can teach people how to get into British Universities (having been an IELTS examiner and a Cambridge examiner in the past).

I organise a ZOUK and Samba de Gafiera dance group and I've also organised a Salsa group in the past. I generally organise professional teachers to take us forward, but when they can't be found I teach some weeks.
