CURRENT MISSION

Making the best out of this life, hoping to turn the next one even better :)

ABOUT ME

I'm a lucky man who had the opportunity to learn about the outside reality and within through wonderful experiences. My family and friends, my course of life, my trip in Europe, the time i spent in Asia and the cycling/working voyage in South America molded what i am now. Staying for almost a year in Paris made me realize i need a "warmer" place to live :). So, my search goes on.
I believe this song says a lot about me: Kim Richey - A Place Called Home (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWFd152yCx0)

PS: i am vegan, simple food, i don't drink, smoke or take any other drugs.

PHILOSOPHY

"What you give to the world, the world gives back", so i'm trying to give the more and the best.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've stayed in couchsurfing member's houses in many places in Europe and in the beginning of my voyage in India and in Kuala Lumpur... also a few times in big cities in South America. I also participated in group activities. I loved it, as i could share experiences, make good friends, know deeply the places i would stay, meet members' friends and sometimes participate in their activities.
I believe couchsurfing should be more altruistic than what it actually is. I'm doing my best to welcome everyone as I was hundreds of times. It's my way of repaying the universe for the good souls that crossed my path :).
