À propos de moi

** We believe Couchsurfing is a platform for cultural exchange, genuine connection, inclusion with mutual respect. If we share the same values, we invite you to read through our profile before requesting a stay. Otherwise we are sorry but only to decline it. Thank you and have a good stay in Madrid. **

Hi! We are Kenton (HK) and João (Portugal). We are now living in Madrid and would love to continue meeting amazing people, both surfing and hosting! 😃

We look for genuine connection and friendship here on Couchsurfing. As surfers, we enjoy connecting with hosts during our stay through making plans and spending time together. As a host, we look forward to do the same and be able to connect with our surfers during their stay.

Pourquoi je suis sur Couchsurfing

To travel like a local.
To meet amazing people.
To be more than just a tourist.

We are grateful to meet fellow kind-hearted CSers whom shared the great passion in travelling around the world. We'd love to meet up with travellers in HK, sharing information like where to find local delicacies, best hiking trails etc., and in Madrid discovering the city together, as a way to give back to the CS community.

Centres d'intérêt

Together we travelled to various countries and were fortunate to volunteer for some amazing groups!

Morceaux de musique, films et livres

João goes for indie rock and Kenton for pop, not so much reggaeton, more reggae or trip hop... Quite an eclectic mix!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

We love languages.
Kenton is currently picking up Japanese and Spanish. If you happen to be learning Cantonese, Mandarin or English, feel free to hit me up and I'd love to have you as a language partner.
João is currently polishing his Spanish and would love to further learn more Cantonese and somehow not lose his Darija.

We are foodies!
Kenton loves to cook, experiment with taste. I'd love to share with you my family recipe to make the best Shanghaiese wontons! (dumplings)
João loves to eat, especially over a nice wine and a good conversation. And I like to cook as well! I love trying to recreate at home the dishes that I enjoyed while traveling. Brings back memories and it's a great way to tell stories.

We are proud and out. Being a part of the LGBT community made me a better person and introduce me to a warm, welcoming family. I hope Couchsurfing allows me to meet fellow LGBT allies which we can share our stories and together create a future with acceptances.

"Life truly begins at the edge of the comfort zone"

Kenton has been curating the project "Inspride" - which aims to discover and document inspirations around the world. Through getting in touch with local communities via volunteering / couchsurfing / meetup, I would like to create a platform showcasing these unique stories embracing pride in their lives. If you're keen knowing more, please feel free to drop me a message. Cheers!
