Overview
About Me
I recently returned to my flat in Bristol after several months in Brazil, where I had consistent physical and personal support. Now I’m living alone again, and while my disability has progressed — I fall more and daily tasks take more time — I’m slowly adjusting. It’s challenging, but I’m enjoying the peace, and learning to stay open to whatever life brings.
I’m a trader, mostly focused on forex, and I spend a lot of time coding my own trading systems and working with AI. I take this work seriously, and while I enjoy company and meaningful conversation, I also value having space to concentrate. Ideally, I’m looking for a guest who understands that balance.
I’m curious about the world and enjoy deep, intelligent conversations — from systems and philosophy to culture and economics. I’d be happy to go for a short walk, help with directions, or do some shopping together. I’m not looking for anyone high-maintenance — just someone considerate, relaxed, and willing to be both helpful and independent.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Couchsurfing has introduced me to people I never would have met otherwise — thoughtful, open, unusual people who enrich life. I’m not on here just to offer or receive a place to sleep. I’m here because I value the human exchange — the kind that’s rare elsewhere.
Now that I’m settled in Bristol again, I’d love to host low-key, calm, and self-sufficient guests — especially those who are open to lending a hand occasionally but are also happy doing their own thing.
