ABOUT ME

At the moment I am working as an electrician and living in Bristol...but I like to be out of the city as much as possible, exploring mountains or swimming in the sea, cycling, camping, staring at the sky. I can be quite shy at first, but also chatty at other times ;) I like to meet new people and make friends, to share cultures and ideas and explore new places.

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted people before who i have met on their travels through Bristol and have been hosted by a number of very kind couch surfers during a solo bike tour through France a few years ago. It was so good to know that every now and again i'd have a bed and some friendly faces. Everyone was so kind and helpful and couch-surfing was a really important part of my journey.
Hitch-hiking near Avingon, S.France, a few years ago, i was sitting by the side of the road, lost, eating baguette and nutella and found myself that night sleeping in an olive grove after having shared dinner with a wonderful family who had picked me up. I hadn't even had my thumb out but was taken home and looked after! This was a really important experience as a first time hitch-hiker and fairly novice 'traveller' as it gave me alot of faith and encouragement to be independent and trusting.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Writings of Helene Cixous are the most soothing and thrilling. Half Nelson is a wonderful movie.
Drum n bass and cheesy pop get me through my days at work.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Cycle touring is always my favourite. A few years ago my friend and I cycled from Hungary to Bulgaria, the whole ride was amazing. The people we met and the beautiful countries we saw, the roads we rode and the hills we climbed!
