ABOUT ME

I am currently living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, just finished six months on exchange in Bogotá, Colombia.

I love travelling alone because you meet more people that way!

I like meeting crazy funny smart people and cooking and drinking with them.

For me, travelling is rarely about famous sites, museums or churches and much more about having a laugh with new people. And it tends to largely be about cartwheels as well.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We had a lovely Hungarian girl come stay with us in our old group house and a guy who was in Canberra for a climate change project.

Since then I've couchsurfed in the US and BA and loved it

I met most of my friends in Argentina through Couchsurfing, as well as staying at an incredible farm in Uruguay that belonged to a couchsurfer.

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Studying German philosophy, in Spanish, at Uni in Colombia! Best class of my life.

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can teach you to make a mean mushroom risotto, tiramisu, and any kind of cake as long as you're into things that are seriously yummy.
I can share my interest in German tank formations with you (cos Im a massive WWII nerd). (Pincer is the key!) as well as Hegel's theories of Civil Society or Marx or Kant should you so desire.
I can teach you how to say cheers in Hungarian, although it's such a long word you'll never actually get to drink anything.
I can teach you salsa unless you're Latino and then maybe you can help me?
I can tell you all about the green movement in Colombia and the elections that are going on here, which is actually super fascinating
