Hey I'm Tom (or Fonz), a Bermuda born, English schooled vet, taking an early career break! I lived and worked for two years in Nottingham after graduation, before my two best friends and I set off on a 10 month adventure to travel overland from London to Sydney.

I've spent the last year in Australia working for an animal charity in Sydney, but now I'm ready for the next adventure and have come to explore South America! Would love to meet as many locals as possible, especially as I'm trying very hard to learn Spanish...and doing terribly!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've found that by far the best way to experience a new country is to do it by meeting the locals! I've loved doing exchange programs whilst at University, and the couch surfing I have experienced so far has lead to unforgettable memories and great friends! Wanting to do lots more!

Interests

Travel (of course)! - Have visited 43 countries so far on this trip, seeing some amazing sights, making some great friends and collecting some good stories.

Sports - love rugby), SCUBA diving, tennis, running and skiing. Will play anything for fun!

Music - listening to all sorts, playing the piano, and playing/singing on Rock Band or Guitar Hero (dreadfully).
