CURRENT MISSION

Improving my Russian

LOCATION

My place is about 20 km away from Lisbon city, 30 min by train, by the S.Pedro beach.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Attended some events, met very nice people and hosted some.

I've been a host for some years already, I like the concept of Couchsurfing and the idea of sharing places, experiences, music, books, pizza and pancakes without any money involved. :-9
I'm going to travel quite a bit and I would like to try out being a guest.

Interests

Knowing people from all around the world and speaking a few more languages.

Rewarding and useful volunteering activities, like teaching Maths to kids who cannot afford private lessons.

Playing the guitar and singing romantic Italian songs, even if the audience unexpectedly left.

Living in other countries for more than just a few days, diving in their culture.
