CURRENT MISSION

I plan to travel along the entire east coast of Brazil from South to North

ABOUT ME

I'm a very down to earth, easy going guy who loves to travel and meet people all over the world more than anything.

PHILOSOPHY

I think the best way to live is to live big. You only live once as far as I'm concerned.

Travelling is not about staying in fancy hotels, taking photos and buying souvenirs. It's about embracing a new way of life, a new way of thinking, possibly even a new language. Expand your mind and your bubble.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've just started participating on my couchsurfing journey and I have high hopes that I will have just as much fun as everyone else has had on this site. Look forward to meeting new faces.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I haven't yet hosted anyone but plan to as soon as I get my own apartment again where ever that may be in the future.

I've always wanted the couchsurfing experience. I hope I will get the chance in Brazil.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a year in Rondonia, Brazil where I experienced a very different way of life from what I'm used to. Half the year was hot and dry. The other half hot and rainy. Swam in the rivers in the jungle, kayaked there too. Was an experience unlike any other.

I've gone cross country skiing in Norway, downhill skiing in Canada, Shark cage diving in South Africa, went paragliding in Rio, Brazil and I know I haven't even begun to experience all that life has to offer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love teaching just about anything from language to music and I'm also incredibly calm, patient and a good listener.
I also love learning different people's languages,about their culture and their way of life and anything else you want to teach me I would be more than happy to learn it. :-)
