CURRENT MISSION

Life is NOT what happens to you while you're busy making other plans

ABOUT ME

SAM

I'm now back home in London after spending a couple of years living in Brazil and Argentina. I am currently studying for a PhD in political geography, interested in social movements.

I'm from London but love living in other places. Now I am here :)
.........
I love music, playing and listening. Always.

I also read a lot, preferably something interesting, as well as dancing (salsa and samba), climbing and surfing (when I am near the sea or some rocks), swimming (to stay fit), drinking red wine. I also tend to get involved in political stuff, well, things that are important I guess. I like recycling.

I also like talking, especially with people who have a different point of view.

ANDREA - moved to London in Feb 2011 to live with Sam, and went on first European tour in July. I like cooking, outdoors and gardening,meeting new people, traveling, and having fun! I work in a Spanish restaurant.

We are easy going people, who enjoy meeting new people and doing fun things. We are probably not the best people if you want to see the crazy party side of London, but are good people if you enjoy walking, cycling, discovering cool parts of town, checking out some music, going to protests (Sam), or other interesting things.

PHILOSOPHY

Where to start....I think this is best discussed over a glass of wine, or mate (Argentine tea)!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We participated in activities in Buenos Aires and London, through various different CS groups.

We have surfed all over the world!

we also get involved in langauge exchanges; english - spanish - portuguese

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Fantastic, met so many great people.

Intereses

Lots and lots of things. I normally start with music, and the rest seems to come naturally. But most things related to culture, politics, nature, and city life interest me.

We both love to experience new cultures, especially the food and drink, and also hiking, chilling in the back streets of cities, reading in parks, dancing to good music.

We are easy going people who enjoy the company of others, and getting to know other places. We dont party too hard when we travel as we like to make the most of the day too, but we love to go for a beer or two in the evening!

Algo increíble que he hecho

On a beach in Ecuador, no-one else there. The simplicity of the most amazing meal of our lives sat on the beach!

Catching a boat along the Amazon, was meant to take 3 days but took 6! On a space like that you can just enjoy life as there is nothing else for you to do!
