About Me

Hello,
I was travelling for 5 years, and it was through that experience that I met Couchsurfing. Since then I was using a diferent profile because 5 years of travelling shouldnt be mixed with my normal everyday profile.

I decided to make this new one, and I hope that eventually it get to the same ammount of positive references that I had. ( sorry for the absence of references now, but my previous profile was getting really confusing).

At the moment I am living at my Home town Porto and I came here to create my company, which I did 5 years ago and I have been living managing my project which consumes 200 per cent of my time. My company owns at the moment 2 Hostels and 2 Guest Houses, with a capacity to host around 70 people per day.
If will accept to host you it means that is one of my free moments I organized to spend some free and to allow myself to get to know new people.
Since free time is a luxury for me, and since hosting people is in fact my job, if you want me to host you please propose something a bit diferent than just the free accomodation and the normal random everyday couchsurfer proposition. To host someone that will in fact just look for free accomodation it wont work for me because I do only accept guests who will bring me something new or at least diferent to my free time.

You think you are able to make an interesting proposition for me to host you? Give it a try :)
I usually dont accept the majority of the requests because the requests are very basic....yes, I demand a special guest since I will make my best for your time in Porto to be special too
by the way,
I am living with my cat, Mr. Socrates that is the most flauffy cat in the world :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because it is in fact a very good platform to meet people from all over the world. Travelling or just hosting people it works pretty fine.

Interests

Out of my professional life, which occupies all my time, I try to use my free time, playing music. I would correct and say to learn music, because it has been a long path to learn what I can play now.
Out of that, movies, books and listening music.
I dont have timee for much more :p Unfortunately ;)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I traveled for 5 years, where I experienced many diferent versions of myself: I was an assitant teacher, a teacher, a Human resources Specialist, Informatic analist and the rest I leave it for you to ask me personally.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you percussion basics, and Harmonica basics too. I could teach you some basics of flair bottle, basics of portuguese language, and some other skills that I got along all my life. I practice Hapkido ( self defense martial art ) and if you want i can teach you some basics of it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my house with you, I have a soft spare matress and a couch.
I can share by point of view from my country, and all the cultural aspects.
I can show you some night life, some spots you would never find as a tourist.

Of course, I can share all this, if I have free time :)
