About Me

CURRENT MISSION
Look forward Via Francigena 1800 km long-trail hikes (Canterbury - Rome) in 2020.

About Me

I'm João from Macau, a Macanese filmmaker is learning English in Britain. I love to travel to around the world, explore wherever I wanna step. Learning language, culture, meeting new people, discovering new places. Also, I hope I can use media to make the world more closely and my eyes to see what we are. Boom De Yada!!!!

Happiness is what you want, call and harmony.
Mahatma Gandhi
An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Want to try different experience when I start to travel, use a different way to learn myself and know each other.
I always contact friend with friend to travel, but I think I should give some adventure time to myself. Try to make some friends by myself in whole world.
