About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To complete my learning of spanish and expand what it means to be a real person.

ABOUT ME

Just moved to Buenos Aires to learn spanish and hopefully find a job in the white.

All in all im quite open minded to what people have to say and I dont mind having discussions on politics,religion or any of "those" subjects. I like to socialise a lot in which lots of food and drink are on the cards, as well as going to clubs and doing sporty activities. I really enjoy trying to immerse myself in the current culture so I usually hang out with local people to get the vibe. I don´

PHILOSOPHY

Be Like Bruce Parry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

i try to attend some meetings and generally gravitate to any events on couchsurfing.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Havent really had much of experience with meeting people on couchsurfing, as most of my interactions happen in the real world but Im eager to try and give it ago to see how different it is and hopefully more insightful to the cultures and people I see and meet.

Interests

I like trying local food and drink , participating in local customs (even if it means making myself look like an idiot or hurting myself)

I enjoy physical activities as well as learning about the psyche of the people which to me is one the vital experiences of travelling.

Music, Movies, and Books

Really childish humour movies ( anchorman, bruno etc) as well as serious docu-films ( food inc.)

and obviously guy movies (Van Damme movies being so cheesy and action packed)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Climbed Macchu Picchu, mined in Potosi, Bolivia, seen Iguazu Falls, climbed a glacier, traversed a salt desert, carnival in Rio, NY, Miami and West Viriginia for a few weeks, still lots more to do!

Teach, Learn, Share

i know a bit of biology due to my degree and am quite good with my hands.

For me travelling is all about expanding the mind and really learning everything I can, whether it be physics, maths, religion or just plain old languages.
