CURRENT MISSION

Be present in my life as much as I can. Choose with both my heart and my brain at the same time. Meet a lot of people. Go to different parts of the Globe. Help others.

ABOUT ME

All about me?!?!? On this grain of rice? :P
Some things about me:
Amazingly unique regular guy living on Universal Credit :)) aaaa...what else?!
I'm happy, but I have challenging moods too. I like to discover new things. I'm constantly looking to improve myself. I live in London since August 2014.

I wonder about many things and love exploring the world!

For the moment I'm doing a Masters Degree in Research Methods in Psychology at Goldsmiths University in London.

Before the pandemic and lockdowns I did sound healing therapy(gongs, guitar, shamanic drums, chimes), but for paying bills I was driving a lorry.

PHILOSOPHY

It's better to be happy than to be better! :)

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just being a member and talking to others about this very helpful project :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've hosted by now maybe 10-15 people, since 4-5 years ago, but not via CouchSurfing. I've met them on the street, on the train or boat and gave them shelter. They were mostly from France, but I've hosted one German guy, another from USA, a gypsy music band from Holland, two girls from France, a biker group from France etc.
UPDATE jan. 2014: Last year, in 2013, I've hosted almost 20 people from all around the world. I'm grateful for all those beautiful experiences!
I've never used CouchSurfing for finding a host, but I'm starting this right now! :)
UPDATE May 2021: It's been a very long time since I've been on this platform, but I will try my luck to find a host :)
