CURRENT MISSION

Exploring London. I’ve been living for here for nearly 5 years now which is the longest time I’ve ever spent somewhere. I was living in a number of cities and countries but London seems like to offer more to explore and experience that I just am not done with it.
However, currently I seem to have have hit kind of a rough patch. Since I left hospital my partner and I are moving around and we could really need help sometimes with a place to stay a night or two. My partner is from Brazil and we are friendly and would show our gratitude.

ABOUT ME

easy-going, open, friendly, eager to meet new people, gay, trustworthy, thirsty for knowledge
It seems like I can't stay in a place for more than three years, after that time I become nervous and wanna go somewhere else. So far I always ended up at places that I loved but never planned to go. I stopped making plans now because there's always getting something inbetween. . . I'll just wait and see where I'll end up next ;) life is always an adventure

PHILOSOPHY

Life's an adventure and it's all in your own hands.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Unfortunately, so far I haven’t had the chance to host couchsurfers at my home but I hope to be able to do so soon. However, I had some great experiences with Couchsurfing in Panama and Brazil.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

trekking in the jungle of Laos, where I got to villages without electricity. being surrounded by nature and lovely people was breathtaking and makes you reconsider Western way of life

Teach, Learn, Share

I love food. I love cooking for other people and I love to learn how to cook new stuff. but watch out, I'm vegetarian. I don't mind if other people eat meat, it's just not my cup of tea. if you want to eat some Asian dishes, I'm happy to make you some ;)
I would like to dive into the nightlife of big cities, not so much clubs, but smaller venues with local bands that not everybody knows. I would love to learn about new music and bands.
Besides that, I wanna learn Portuguese. in exchange, I can teach English and German, I'm even a trained English teacher with a TEFL certificate.

Countries I’ve Visited

Cambodia, Israel, Laos, Singapore, Spain, United Kingdom, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In
