Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Although at the moment I'm not able to accept guests, nevertheless I'm interested in meeting up with people passing through Aveiro or Porto, to show them the surroundings and exchange ideas around a cup of tea or glass of wine.
I love meeting new people, from different cultures. Getting to know different habits and customs, experimenting new flavors and musicalities, listening to different ideas and life stories is like opening of a new window in our soul to the world.
