~~This time I will move to Brighton and since I came back from a long trip my finances are not what they should be. I am looking for some couches to surf until I get a job and I am able to move into my own room. Will be surfing around a week or two - hoping you would help me out! ~~

Hello! My name is John and I love to travel and meet new people. I have been backpacking for around 1,5 year across the world, and at home I've been active in Erasmus Student Network, working with and socializing with students from all over the world. I love international relationships and I would like to, both in my private and professional life, meet new cultures and individuals. I have opened up my home to a lot of people over the years and I've met so many interesting people...

Music, Movies, and Books

Gorillaz, John Mayer, Billy Joel, Dire Straits.. I like Guitar and Saxophone. I don't read or watch movies so much, but I would like to quote Leonardo DiCaprio from two movies, Titanic and The Beach:

“Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count.”

"And me? I still believe in paradise. But now at least I know it's not some place you can look for. Because it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something. And if you find that moment... It lasts forever."

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 28 hours on a bus between Laos and Vietnam sitting on a can tray surrounded by chicken. My ass was like a stone after that. :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a passion for business. I would love to talk more Spanish and learn Portuguese. I have a good network in the Erasmus Student Network I can share for those who want to travel around the world and want connections.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A fun time - I am easy going and can do any activity!
