About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'd like to meet as many people from different cultures as I possibly can and make good friends.

ABOUT ME

I'm a friendly guy, I like to meet new people and talk about languages, different cultures, running, music, psychology...
I love exploring new places, getting to know the local people, the traditions and a bit of the language.

I think meeting people from different cultures helps us see more clearly who we are, what defines us.

PHILOSOPHY

Keep it simple: the world is already a messy place, let's try not to overcomplicate things.
Also, don't take things too seriously.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I met some CouchSurfers in Lisbon and I liked the experience.
I attended regular CouchSurfing nights out in Brighton, I made a lot of friends, it was great!

Interests

I like meeting new people, learning languages, travelling... I like running (10K's and half marathons) and hiking, I usually bring my running gear with me when I travel. I like cooking, I like learning new skills.

I like romantic comedies and alternative movies, but I don't mind the occasional blockbuster.
