About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To go, to stay, to do whatever I want, whenever I want, wherever I want.

ABOUT ME

Hi CS community! This is me, I want the same thing as everyone here, meet other travellers, share countless amazing stories, cook, hike, drink a beer or two, share share and SHARE and go bananas with music instruments!

I am well groomed (most the time) and I would like to meet your couch, you can even meet mine down the road or vice versa!

PHILOSOPHY

In brief:

Less is worth so much more.
Mi Casã es su casã.
Laughing>everything else.
For the moment be here and now, enjoy people and experiences and slowly make my way to a more sustainable way of living while making my life an endless travel even at home. Create as I go and move on through life with a growing sense of oneness with the world and its travellers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

On this platform: share my will of hosting in a natural and familiar way. Make connections across the globe, offer accommodation in exchange for a smile and good conversations.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never really used this awesome network until recently, and I discovered an amazing way to bring new faces into I and my flatmates' everyday life and give back for everything I've gotten from people when I travel! So far, so great!

Interests

I'm simple. I like being in cities crawling with people and I like losing myself in the woods. I like Writing, Art, Photography, Music, Litterature, Good people and good Beer. I'm keen for any sport and love some good competition! I love both peace and mayhem (figure of speech) and will adjust to everything with enthusiasm!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Hitch-hiking across Canada twice, 5000km from Québec to British Columbia in 5 or 6 days each time, meeting some of the most helpful people ever.

Camping in the Californian Redwoods for 3 months, meeting deer and nocturnal sights of mountain lions in some of the most incredible wilderness in which I've had the honour of setting foot.

Found myself in the middle of a riot during the 2013 popular elections of Tanzania (scarier than amazing).

Witnessing the sun rising above the clouds on top of the Haleakala (House of the Sun) volcano in Maui (Hawaii).
