About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Survive Sao Paulo, Learn Portuguese, Make some friends, Invite them to England...

ABOUT ME

I love music, mainly electronic stuff but anything with a bit of creativeness gets me going. I dj and organise large music events.
I would love to meet some friendly people whilst here in Sao Paulo, I am here until the end of November but I would like to get out of the city and see some of the rest of Brazil before going back to England. I have a girlfriend whom I miss everyday, but I'm trying to keep busy and teaching most days to keep occupied and paying for my experience this way.

PHILOSOPHY

Be good, be nice but think twice before going out here alone again!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

The couch is a long way away at the moment but for now all I'm looking for are companions or fellow travellers in Brazil... We can think about other visits or even travels to England in the new year.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None yet but I have heard great things.

Interests

Snowboarding (like thats going to happen here where your winter is far hotter than the peak of the British summer)
Cycling (if only i trusted the drivers here!)
Surfing ( I can pretend i know what i'm doing)
Art, Design, Photography, Interesting Architecture, Music (everyday lover of heavy bass!)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Love the laidback life in the south of france, the cheese and wine and the sun. Loved being in Berlin, heavy nights and great music. Rome too, it's classical features and thousands of years of history built on top of each other! And now Sao Paulo, you are so massive! I had never seen such a city like it, it's hard to tell yet if I'm cut out for such an enormous metropolis.
