I'm an easy going, well travelled and friendly guy from Malta who likes to meet new people, explore new places and especially try out local food and culture :D

Volunteering and helping people is my way of life, that's why I have been a youth leader in my community since my teen years. Currently working on several Erasmus+ projects and youth empowerment. Studied in Spain where I also volunteered with a gypsy community, Hiked across Italy too

I'm a philosophy and humaities graduate, also graduated in information science, librarianship. and archival studies. Working as a freelance business process engineer and currently specialise as an admin for the salesforce customer resource management platform - that ties in with my need to help people and make things better generally haha

Married to the love of my life, just a few months ago, after many trials and tribulations and two trips to the Philippines :)

Love trying out new stuff - latest great achievement was overcoming my fear of heights and starting rock climbing. Still not cured but definitely excited about it haha. I just discovered I have a natural talent for archery and shooting lol, but my passion still remains music

Anyone hosting me is automatically entitled for return hosting in Malta :D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0x7qpysW5w

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people, travel to new places, try new food, discover new cultures :D
I think the whole concept is amazing, and I appreciate every single person I've met on random events, it just broadens your vision on what life is and discovering so much uniqueness and blessings in everyone. I'm constantly amazed at the personal stories I get to hear and share with others and how intrinsically unique every person is <3
I believe giving people opportunity to travel makes the whole world a more loving and accepting place

Music, Movies, and Books

LOTR, anything Fantasy, Sci-Fi, arthouse and indie I will eat it up :D
I can't get enough of quirky comedies too, like Black Books, IT Crowd, Monty Python, Black Adder, and animation, currently Rick and Morty ties in amazingly well with the animation/sci-fi genre so that's my favourite

I'll listen to everything from electronic to ethnic. Rock and Metal had been a big part of my life and music tastes, but I will give everything a try because you never know what the soundtrack to your life will play :)

I love tinkering with musical instruments too, and love to learn and listen to new things! I studied the classical organ and piano for a while, picked up some guitar from youtube, but I'm super amateur, I just do it because it helps me relax and it is fun :D
