Hey there. I'm Rob. I am from London and live in London. I am half English/Indian. I love Bachata and Salsa dancing. I Love the diversity of cities; at home in London, my friends seem to be from everywhere and anywhere! (Testament to London!) I try to appreciate the culture/way of life of both my West and East heritage so I'm Passionate about learning, always reading about world cultures, history, current affairs, or anything that is a farcry from London society/Life. Since 2016 I've travelled to Norway, Dublin, India, Hungary, Majorca, Milan, around California state, Philippines, Hong Kong, Jersey(UK), Croatia, USA East Coast, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Croatia again, Corfu, Majorca..again! I wonder what 2020 holds...

I'm very pro-active when travelling, and I usually know exactly what I want to do, though I always leave some room for random and spontaneous activities like cheeky road trips that always seem to uncover hidden gems like a local countryside pub with a warm fire, or a wander down the street to see which street food stall wins me over. First language is English, Conversational in French and getting there with Spanish (Gotta be true to your Latin roots as a Latin dancer haha!) We shoud talk about Reggaeton.. or dance to it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet more of you amazing open-minded and kind people, who have already made many trips amazing. I want to gain an insight into your city from a local perspective. To have company when making memories and laughing on my travels....funny situations that make for a story for the grandchildren are very welcome, if not needed for that healthy living.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Travelled around California in a Mustang. High speed on the desert freeway with the roof down baby! Sat on the edge of a WW2 shipwreck that was casually poking its bow above the waterline, near an island in the pacific. Accidently walked into the largest brothel in East Asia in Kolkata (may I point out this place was a village... yes a whole village.....my mistake ha)
