Ola,

I'm a 25 year old English guy who followed the regular walk of life, going to school, making loads of good mates, getting good grades, getting a decent job before realising none of this is what I wanted. I realised that I needed a break from the societal conventions to experience life for what it really is, to experience new things, to see new places and above all, to meet interesting people that help me open my mind further.

You cannot see the front of your house from the living room and so you need a second opinion. I am travelling for 9 months minimum to gain opinions, and to see if my own can be of use to someone else

I currently live in Lisbon. To be honest, I just like to chill out with a couple of beers and some mates.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The only mistakes are the ones you don't learn from. I might not always meet the nicest people, and i might not always be in the best places, but to conquer such experiences is to learn ways of life, and to develop ones character.

I want to meet people who are both like minded and of completely contrasting minds, so that I can see the city they live in from their point of view. We might become friends, we might not, but the only decision you regret, is the one you don't make.
