Hey!

I am travelling around the world seeking new experiences, new friendships and adventure in every place. I have just finished living and teaching English for a charity in Colombia and am now traveling using as many different forms of transport as possible (done cars, motorbikes, airplanes, donkeys, horses, my own feet, buses and many many more - I am currently crewing on a sailboat from the UK to Spain). I want to see the world, meet it's people, stroke it's dogs and contribute positively in every possible way.

I am a teacher by trade (English and History) and dip in and out of working when it suits me. I can happily chat about history or politics late into the night but also love to cook delicious vegan food, play cards with friends or strum out a tune. I have traveled extensively including hitch hiking around Europe, working in Palestine, Kenya and Colombia and traveling in Chile, East Africa and North America. I love to be on the road, as Willie Nelson sang "I just cant wait to be on the road again, going places that I've never been, seeing things that I may never see again".

I love to cook and think that eating healthy leads to a healthy, inquisitive mind. I would love to cook for anybody that hosts me (or I host when I return to settledness). I am a passionate lover of animals and think that joy is spending time with a happy dog.

I would love to meet new people to share in life's experiences, swap stories and go forward in life's adventures together. I don't know if this profile links you to my facebook but if it doesn't feel free to bounce me a message and I can link you in to my facebook so you can do a healthy amount of stalking and decide if I am somebody you may want to meet.

Hasta la futura!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people and have new experiences.

Interests

Climbing things, running along things, looking at things, being part of things, walking up things, reading things, watching things and meeting people.

In all seriousness, I love going out into the countryside, hitting bars with friends, watching good (and occasionally rubbish but satisfying) movies, reading books, studying Spanish. Life is all about what you make of it and I want to make more of it all the time so hit me up and we can do some cool things together!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love rock, metal, punk, hip hop, electronica, drum ´n´´ bass, gospel, soul, blues, country. You name it and chances are I like it. But, not Champeta. Sorry Colombia but it sucks.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Slid down 3km of snow trails on an active volcano which was chuffing out smoke. On my bum.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learning Spanish and how to live life.

Teach English (and history). I can happily swap some language/history skills.

Share food and good stories, share experiences whenever possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Good cooking, laughter, stories, friendliness and a desire to experience life in whatever it's forms.
