Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I am eager to discover developing and unspoiled countries. This year in June, I am going to watch a World Cup match and I will also take the opportunity to visit South America.
ABOUT ME
I’d like to think that I am funny, creative and very adventurous. I enjoy a good conversation; I can talk about mostly everything, whether it is sports, food, travelling, politics, geography, you name it. I like to keep fit and challenge myself physically. I like things that most people enjoy on a daily basis such as cooking a nice meal, eating out, have a nice bottle of wine, hang out with friends, gigs and watching live sports. I am a keen hiker, runner and footballer. I to discover little hidden places such as art galleries, café and restaurant.
PHILOSOPHY
My personal philosophy on life has developed or evolved over the years and it is still developing. People are too materialistic and money-orientated. I am keen to understand how human survived without technologies many years ago.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
I read a book called "On This Couch" that really got me into Couchsurfing. I bought the book for £1 and it is probably one of the best £1 I have ever invested in my whole life.
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I am fairly new to Couch-surfing. My only CS experience was in Brazil during the World Cup. The experience was truly amazing. I still keep in touch with my host. I'll love to host and give something back to the CS community
