Human who wander and live

I'm a Brazilian, now living in the UK, but always think where comes next. The idea of staying just in one place, doing the same thing make me feel I'm living on an automatic pilot. The live always ask for new things. I'm a very relaxed and easygoing person. Enjoy connecting with nature and have my mind connected with positive energy. Theatre (drama) is my favorite art expression. I love cinema. Michael Jackson's music always makes my heart feel warm. I've had great experiences in Couchsurf. I met people here who become best friends in life. My Page on Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/oliveira.leo.lo/ Instagram: leo_oliveira.lo

Hey I’m Dom. I’m currently travelling SE Asia with work for a few months. Thought I’d give couchsurfing a go as a way to meet a some people along the way. Feel free to say hi!

Hi, I'm Ahmed, originally from Algeria and currently living in the UK, where I'm doing my Master's in Medical Imaging. I've lived in six different cities across Algeria, and now in the UK. Moving around taught me that it's usually the people not the places you remember most, which is probably why I enjoy Couchsurfing. Outside university, I make short films about Algerian cultural heritage (a few have been lucky enough to win awards), and I've even had the chance to give a TEDx talk. I enjoy stories in every form, whether they're in films, books, music, or shared over dinner with someone I've just met. I love live music, and this year I was lucky enough to finally see artists I grew up listening to, like Take That, Shania Twain, Harry Styles, and Charlie Puth... I travel to understand places a little better, not just to see them. Some highlights have been the Great Wall of China and visiting the Terracotta Warriors, but honestly, some of my favourite travel memories are just conversations that lasted much longer than expected. I'm always happy to share stories from my travels, the random side quests I somehow end up on, my research (I'm genuinely passionate about it), and anything about Algerian culture and heritage. I can also introduce you to Algerian music or teach you a few words in Arabic if you're curious.
