I'm fired up on:

Playing and watching football are very important to me. I am fascinated by new places, concepts, people, opportunities. I want to develop my writing skills, become a fluent Spanish speaker and find the opportunity to work as a tour guide, sharing unique information in an exquisite setting or settings.

Tunes I rock out to:

Whilst travelling, I like anything that reconnects me with my home, that allows my mind to drift and my body to relax. I am a indy boy at heart Blur, Oasis, Supergrass, Radiohead, Coldplay, Stone Roses, Mercury Rev. I have an allergy to dance music, whilst I have coordination, that coordination has never successfully been expressed onthe dance floor.

Travel style:

Open minded, independent. I like to overlap with the experiences of others and love meeting like minded people on volunteer projects.
