About Me

CURRENT MISSION: I recently bought a 4x4 (named Kungawo) and I am traveling across Africa, from Cape Town to Sudan and back, exploring the continent and volunteering / working in solar energy projects to provide electricity to rural communities along the way

PHILOSOPHY: Live, explore, experience, meet, enjoy, share and be grateful.

ABOUT ME: I am easy going and open-minded. I enjoy conversing over a tea or glass of wine, going for weekends away into nature, or having a good night out... Always keen to meet like-minded and interesting people!
I love sports, nearly any kind. The ones I do the most: kitesurf, hiking, football, snowboarding, climbing, diving, etc

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING: I found about CS some years ago and loved the concept: traveling, knowing like-minded people and sharing experiences.. I have been using it since (intermittently)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE: The first people I met through CS were two girls that came to live in Madrid, one from the US and one from Venezuela, and we spent a very nice time in Madrid and climbing in the countryside of the city. Since then, I have been using it while traveling in Morocco, Germany, Australia, India, Indonesia, etc. Always meeting nice and interesting people

Interests

Too many to list here... we will have to meet and find out :)
Actually, on that note, always interested in the kind of conversation where you forget about time. Also, very interested in international development and sustainability; I work in renewable energies ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I quit my job few months ago, bought a 4x4 and I am currently traveling across East Africa.
I lived four months in Angola, in a small town called Balombo, working for a NGO installing a water system for a hospital working with solar energy. It was a great experience!
