About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Do as many things as I can before life is over (or I'm too old)!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on couchsurfing for a while now and have had great experiences. I mainly hosted people when I lived in 🇪🇸 and 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿. Always good times with nice people!

I have been off the platform for a few years when my wife (who is Brazilian) and I moved to 🇧🇷 in 2021, where we have travelled through the whole country by 🚘 for 1.5 years. After that, we continued travelling in South and Central America to 🇦🇷🇨🇱🇵🇾🇺🇾🇵🇪🇧🇴🇨🇴🇻🇪🇬🇾🇬🇫 🇵🇦🇨🇷🇳🇮🇭🇳🇧🇿🇸🇻🇬🇹🇲🇽, with the main highlights in 🇦🇶 and the 🇫🇰.

In between, we visited 🇺🇸 on numerous occasions and visited almost all the Caribbean Islands.

After a trip to Europe to 🇪🇸🇵🇹🇦🇱🇬🇷🇲🇰🇽🇰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇮🇪🇳🇱🇹🇷, 2024 was dedicated to Oceania 🇦🇺🇳🇿🇨🇰🇻🇺🇫🇯🇵🇫🇵🇬.

In 2025, we completed the final states in the in 🇺🇸 so we have now been to all 50 states (plus 🇵🇷🇻🇮)!

Now I'm back on CS, currently travelling through Asia 🚅🚊🚍🚘✈️🌏 . Lots of new adventures.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Politeness, stories, insights, thoughts, and we can prepare (vegetarian) meals (my wife Amelia is a great cook). We are also happy to help with chores if you need a hand with something.

Good to know:
We both don't drink and are vegetarians 🍐🍒🥝🍌🍓🥬🥦🥕🥑🥒🌽🫘
