Hi, I’m Felipe, 32, from Bogota, Colombia.

I have been living in Brazil for the last 5 years. I’m going to live at Huddersfield, UK for the next 6 months, as a part of my PhD in Sustainability. I’m researching about waste, consumption and creative reuse activities.

I’m open-minded, I like to share fun experiences, ideas, fantasies, and nice food.
I also like to walk, to draw and to do things with my hands.

I met a lot of couch-surfers when I was living in a big house with other students in Brazil. Now it seems to be my turn to meet some nice and interesting hosts in the UK and Europe.

Thank you for your attention.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I met a lot of couch surfers when I was living at Campinas, Brazil at a student's house called the French Republic, it was very fun.

Now I'm going to make a 6 month internship period of my PhD program at the University of Huddersfield in West York Shire, UK. It's my first time in Europe so I will like to travel and meet interesting people.

I would like to participate in house activities, voluntary work, and I have some skills with home improvements, permaculture, and interior design projects.

Interests

I like to solve everyday problems with creativity and using the materials and tools that are available.

Teach, Learn, Share

All kind of projects using discarded materials, some tools and imagination.
I like to pick random stuff and make lamps or furniture with them. As a mechanical engineer, I love mechanisms and I also love to draw.
