CURRENT MISSION

I want to explore new ways of life, to share mine with others.

ABOUT ME

Big guy who loves the mountains and the sea, and likes nothing more than to go on an adventure with or without friends.
I get on amazingly with young people which is probably why I became a teacher.
Although I am relatively fit and active I also love to enjoy a good meal with good conversation. A good beer or glass of wine never goes amiss.

PHILOSOPHY

Big universe, many existences, different directions, constantly evolving - sad and beautiful

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have lived with many people in my life and know the rules. I wash up dirty dishes and cook a number of meals quite well. I can talk but I can also be quiet and i am sensitive to the requirements of others.
As a guest I will be respectful and grateful.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

So far so good.
Had a few guests formally and informally over the years in Cape Town and Malawi. Couchsurfed once or twice in Europe - Hungary, Bulgaria, Turkey and Germany. Looking to meet people living in Brazil now.
