ABOUT ME

I don't necessarily have favourite destinations - I have favourite experiences in the places I've traveled to. These experiences invariably depend on whom I meet and what I do with them. Looking back, the highlights of my holidays have always been the fabulous friends, both old and new. Couchsurfing plays a huge part as always.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything is subjective.

Everything has an opportunity cost.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

With a big smile.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have not stayed over at CS hosts. I have met many hosts through CS over coffee, short road trips, and gentle nightlife... in Brunei, South Korea, Georgia, Iran, Myanmar, Cambodia, and the Philippines.

Teach, Learn, Share

If you speak Portuguese, this is probably the first reason why I sent you a message. I'm a sucker for português.
