Get up and enjoy life
ABOUT ME
I am spontaneous and entrepreneurial. I am not hold back by conformism or tradition. I believe in a conscious mind that we all share, more interaction leads to better understanding and respect. I love the outdoors and specifically jungles - due to my love for nature, my passion is to find solutions that foster sustainable development. I traveled through many countries, by the age of 21 I spent already about an aggregate 3 years or so in places such as the US, Portugal, Brazil, England, Australia. Travel is my addiction and I am hooked.In the earlier 2000s, I worked and lived in Trinidad & Tobago, Kenya and Tanzania and other places to support local communities on economic development as well as conducting scientific research. These days I use my experience to support global efforts in combating climate change, this is what I have been doing in the US for the last 8+ years.
PHILOSOPHY
Accepting we are tiny grains on a sandy beach will make us bigger, as we collectively form a force that can shift powers and change minds.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
CS is the jumping board for folks interested in meeting the world in its precious authenticity. I travel, travel, travel...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
NONE so far. There was a time before CS - that was when I did backpacking tours in Central America or Thailand - when you keep your mind open and share a smile, you will receive more than you asked for. Some of my greatest experiences I had when I was doing these trips by myself by simply enjoying the freedom and excitement when you discover something new every day.
Interests
I love life, nature, soccer, travel, cultures, languages and history. Especially the ocean and jungle work great for me - as such I also enjoy sailing and diving.
