About Me

I dislike very much couchsurfing going commercial.

CURRENT MISSION

Work & travel in Brazil, quero aprendeu mais Portuguese, get fit to do Boylesque in Burlesque Underground Lisbon

ABOUT ME

I´m lost when i´m not on the road, spending just way too much time in internet to escape my melancholic, safe, cold and dark country. So I decided 2013 to leave my job and sell my property to travel around South-East Asia and to try hitchhike by land back to Europe. Well made it halfway before bureaucracy and corrupted officers got me. Last Winter hitched to North-Africa.

Don´t hesitate from hosting me if you feel your place is too small, poor or dirty for me. I´m modest guy who finds happiness at places where I feel warm heartedly welcome.

PHILOSOPHY

Ended up to this planet for a unknown amount of time and now doing my best to enjoy about it, find and offer moments of happiness.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I dislike the effect of tourism creating tourism and feeling that in a lot of cases hospitality turns greediness. Which is the reason I'm trying to hitch-hike, camp and use CS instead instead of leaving too much materialistic a footprint behind while travelling.
Also interacting with locals is the best way to catch areal culture and knowledge.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I used couchsurfing first time in manila being hosted by young guy in suburbans with his more warm hearted family ever imagined that exists. Easily the best virginity I lost and been hooken up since.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitchhiking over 20 000km in around 300 hundred cars, trucks, buses or taxis in three continents.
Meeting up and making friends with people who comes totally opposite cultures than mine and learnt a lot about those and my own.
I probably have a story or two about being on the road so feel free to invite me over to hear them.

Teach, Learn, Share

Shift the gear down, racing each other like rats in endless wheel ain't leading for good. Reaching for materialistic richness is often just lack of creativity and bravery to be what you want.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I hope that I'll be able to bring some colour in my hosts everyday life with some stories, discussions and my company almost for anything.
Also trying to treat with small gifts I get, make or find on the road to pay my gratitude forward.
