I've been a member for a while but only recently started using the app because I couldn't travel much after getting a new pup now a naughty 3 year old called Jez, proud #doggydad 🐶

I enjoy meeting people from around the world and forming meaningful connections. Always looking to do new things and gain new experiences. I value learning about different perspectives and views on life and the world. Deep believer that we don't need to agree to get along but I do need to respect your difference. I strive to treat people with kindness and compassion.

Interests: Politics 🏢, climate change ☀, spirituality, anime 📺, art 🎨, music 🎶, photography 📸, travel 🚉, hiking 🚶🏾, psychology 🧠, and board games, if you play Settlers of Catan, I will accept your host request automatically 😂 #ButYouWillLose 😜

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm passionate about traveling and building new connections. Through other apps, I've forged lifelong friendships with people from different countries, which has profoundly shaped my worldview and life. I hope to share something valuable to those I connect with as well.

Lately, I've taken up wild camping, so if you're a fellow hiker with tips on wild camping, let's embark on some adventures together! 🗻 🏕️

I love to laugh and to laugh with others. I enjoy meeting others who don't take themselves too seriously. 😉🌍🫱🏻‍🫲🏽

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
How long have you got... 😂
Generally, I'm into action movies and movies with a good plot line. I tend to stay away from horror as I'm a big baby 😅 I am a sucker for a good documentary, a blanket and hot chocolate.

Books:
I am currently reading a lot of political, spiritual and psychological books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked in the Jungle Calais between 2016-2019. The experience transformed my outlook in so many ways.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have plenty to share, but I'm a firm believer in lifelong learning. I have a great appreciation for listening, so if you enjoy talking, I'm all ears! 😊

Currently, I'm dedicated to learning Brazilian Portuguese. If you're a native speaker and interested in a language exchange, feel free to reach out! 🇧🇷🗣️
