Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would like some day have my own yatch parked in a nice bay in front of my house and could receive travellers and help them with anything, specially a roof and a mattress that when u travell is something is good not to pay for because now a days is crazy expensive in some places. And is good always to be in contact with the locals, thats something i always like to do, and i beleive its a way of showing respect.

I love sailing and i have bit of experience. Its good to share storys and learn about everything that could happen.
I ve been travelling on a very low budgect way al my life and i have a few tips that could be usefull, specially in brazil and indonesia...but the point is that i know the meanibg of someone receiveing you at their place. Share

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sailing from Australia to Malasia arround Infonesia, surfing all the waves in betwen, with two friends on a 36ft boat, for one year.
Indonesian people can change your perspective of life very easily, specially in the south east island like Sawu and Sumba.
That was crazy
