ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in Santarem, lived in Lisbon for two years, then I spent one year in Caldas da Rainha but now I'm back to Lisbon to study in the University of Fine Arts.

I would say I'm a very curious person, mainly related to cultures and language, expect me to ask a lot of questions, I really love this learning process that people call "sharing".

PHILOSOPHY

I take life as it is, things are simple, explaining them is complicated.

Life is hard and unfair, but it's the only chance (as far as I know), to actually live a life. I value individual freedom above all, so you can be the true creator of your own path. "Moral values" and "social codes" are funny concepts invented by us, since they're not real... like "gravity" or "weak nuclear force". That gives us all a choice, to do things, good or bad? I don't know.... who's judging?

Our individual existence means both everything and nothing when compared to the scale of the Universe. Personally, I like my life, I want to reach that last second of my life and think "shit.... I did great, I'd do it all again!". Meanwhile, I want to change and shape whatever I can for present and future generations, so everyone has an equal chance of having a great life and do great deeds.

Warum ich bei Couchsurfing bin

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Hosting and surfing if whenever is possible. I'm always into couchsurfing when my life allows it. Sometimes a tandem for a language, joining a dinner or an event.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Here and there, now and then, one step at a time the experience is growing and always getting better and better! I've surfed a little, hosted quite a few people, made friends and missed them all when they left :(

Eine tolle Erfahrung, die ich gemacht habe

Skydiving, and I didn't tell my parents, I had some pictures and they thought I used photoshop on them ---> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysRbVJxm5W8

Lehren, lernen, teilen

I love to share knowledge about cultures, languages, music, and everything in general, I'm no expert in any of these subjects but I also read about sociology, psychology, marketing, consumerism and sometimes even medical stuff that I learn from the people around me. One way or another, I'll end up learning new stuff and/or hopefuly teach you something.

I use tools like AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema4D and I'm going to learn a few more soon, I might be able to teach you something if you're interested.
