CURRENT MISSION: constantly striving to connect with the present moment.

ABOUT ME
I love REAL travel... to arrive somewhere and get to know people who live there. Exchange ideas and food, learn from one another. My wife and I are very easy going and love to host people. We will probably try to sucker you into playing cards or a board game ;)

PHILOSOPHY

"Don't let schooling get in the way of your education" (Mark Twain)

“Don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and go do that, because what the world needs is people who have come alive.” (Howard Thurman)

Human beings are social animals. We easily get trapped in our small bubbles. Life is about getting out of your comfort bubble, meeting new people, taking risks, making mistakes, learning from one another.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Couchsurfing has been a significant part of my life. I’ve been able to do a lot of traveling thanks to Couchsurfing, but more importantly, I’ve made amazing connections with people from all over the world. Nowadays we are doing more hosting.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Philippe used Couchsurfing primarily in Brazil.
