Yup, I am one of those people whom did it. I quit my job, left my home, sold my stuff and gave away my clothes to charity in order to travel the world. Why? Well, I think (and yes, this will probably sound really cliché) that at the end, life is all about the memories you make and not the things you have bought. And for me travelling is the way to make those memories. I am sure most people agree on this, especially after 6 or 7 beers, but very few people can actually make the step to just leave everything behind, grab that backpack and passport and just go. And quite honestly, I was one of those people whom are just too scared to do it. Let's face it not knowing where you are going has two sides. At one side there is that feeling of absolute freedom, but at the other side there is that anxious feeling of not knowing where you will end up. However, while hiking in Nepal towards the Everest Basecamp without internet and just my thoughts, I realized that I had ended up in a position that everything was pointing in the direction of just following that crave for freedom and adventure. A year before I did become single, I don't have any children, I can always do the work I already did again and above that all, I have the willpower to work really hard in order to save up and make the sacrifices needed in order to start such a huge adventure. So, I manned up, just did the work I needed to do and started a travelblog about it. Wanna know more? Go to ColinIntoTheWild.com

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

Because it is putting me outside of my comfort zone. And they say that is where all the good things in life begin. Going to ho(s)tels is something that nowadays is quite predictable with all the reviews and pics or even virtual tours that can be found online. Although I really love to meet up with other travellers I also really want to experience a country as intense as possible and the best thing to do that is meeting locals I think.

Músicas, Filmes e Livros

Well, with my website named ColinIntoTheWild.com, my favourite book and movie must be Into The Wild of course.

Music wise I like Techno for festivals and a lot of noise (also known as metal) to workout on.

Uma Coisa Incrível que Eu Fiz

Well, I quit my job, sold my stuff and gave away my clothes to charity to travel for an undefined amount of time and write about it. Sounds pretty amazing to me.

O Que Posso Compartilhar com Anfitriões

First of all I just love to talk about travelling and share travel stories. People tell me it is always very noticable that my eyes are starting to sparkle when I start talking about travelling. I am very fond of fitness, so if someone wants to do a workout together or go for a run, I am your guy. And as much as I do love fitness I do love my beer from time to time as well. Just as I like trying out local foods. So, I am always down to share those as well.
