PHILOSOPHY

Where to start here?! I spend too much time philosophising and now can't remember any of it, oops!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Interests

Some passions of mine aside from travel include going away places, other languages, foreign people, overseas culture, trips, not being at home, buying 1 way plane tickets.. yep that pretty much covers it. Oh and motorbikes.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music,
Anything from Tool to Norah jones, some Andean pan pipe music (Los Andes) Black sabbath, Angus and Julia stone, really getting into the fleet foxes and the lumineers recently. Folk yeah.

Movies, yeah movies can be nice.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The best thing I've ever done is my Latin America trip, 14 months, with the last 5 or 6 months on a motorbike I bought in Paraguay.
Best thing ever.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a native speaker of English and have a very neutral accent, I love to help my friends with their English!

You can never travel too light! ..unless you can't fit your wallet, and sometimes even then. 32 Litres is plenty!

Me encantaría hablar mas español, es el idioma mas linda.
