Young professional living and working in London. Happy to host similarly open-minded people who want to enjoy one of the best cities in the world without having to pay the crippling prices of accommodation or put up with some of the weirder hosts on here. Will accept male and female guests without prejudice. Fluent in English and conversational in Spanish.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Exchanging cultures and ideas, and offering a free bed in one of the world's best cities - money shouldn't be a reason why you can't enjoy something or somewhere.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Invented and coordinated an expedition by kayak starting on the Caribbean Coast, going through Guatemala's main river using nothing but some vague description that I found online (not even the locals knew about it) , to find a 21m deep water solo rock climb - the equivalent of jumping off a 7 storey building - and led 4 people and myself up it then off it into the manatee filled waters below!

Teach, Learn, Share

Able to teach, to a high/professional level, how to play the piano both classically and otherwise, and how to pass the entry exam to Business Schools around the world (bit of an odd one, but for those who care, I got a 760 after 4 weeks of prep...and can show you how to do it too).

In the mean time, I'm learning how to speak Spanish, French and Portuguese - Spanish I can speak at an intermediate level (B1 at the last attempt) - and how to code in Java for Web and App development. Happy and eager to share ideas on those.

As well as this, I regularly (or try to regularly) indoor rock-climb, outdoor parkour, dance Salsa and meditate...if any of these interest you, I'm happy to teach the basics and spend a couple of hours at a wall, a high-rise, a bar or a tranquil spot in the city doing any of them.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hmmmm...an open mind, a mixed cuisine and ability of cooking, company to eat/drink/share experiences and ideas with, and a good level of cleanliness. And, whatever I buy out and about while staying there - food and drink included.
