Current mission:
Simplify life, go deeper rather than wider, set the plans aside.

About me:
Born a humanist, activist and inherently curious.
Weekends and travels are always unpredictable and rarely the same - all depends on the people we meet on the way :)
Perfect backpack: hiking shoes, camera, bike, climbing shoes, scuba diving gear, new language dictionary, book for endless train or bus trips, no map, no plans, no phone.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

So sorry but right now I'm in someone else's place and cannot host you. But why not meet up for the future?

I'm an expert in using my friends' couches all over Europe, and at my partners' place in Mozambique we hosted couchsurfers and volunteers almost every weekend (having a place right by the beach was probably a good cause). Check-out his profile: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/f.garcia.amarante

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Every smile of a kid, being on top of an active volcano, being at the heart of a gorilla family living in the wild in Congo, climbing Kilimanjaro on New Year's, the feeling given by a hug from a really old man in a remote village, a 360º view of fished 20m underwater - is there really just one?
