Overview
About Me
I was born in a portuguese city called Leiria. Until my 11th birthday I lived for some periods in Açores Islands along with my family.
When I reached 18 I went to Lisbon where I attended the aircraft pilot's course and received my wings on 2009 when I was 20.
Meanwhile, in 2008, I enrolled with the University of Lisbon studying physics.
I do not eat animals but I am not all freaky about it, you don't have to worry about what I'll eat and I have no problem with having animal food around me. Just don't ask me to eat it :)
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I like the idea of being able to travel and having someone somewhere opening their door for you as an old friend, turning the coldness of the path into familiar warmth.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Watching sunrises/sunsets from the water of the sea. Climbing Pico mountain in Portugal. Hiking alone. Train trip Lisbon-Berlin-Lisbon alone. Russia-Portugal non-stop by car. Flying. Stepping out of my comfort zone. Catching a wave!
Teach, Learn, Share
Among others, I want to learn german, I want to learn how to cook and how to dance the waltz!
I am willing to teach anything I know...maybe I don't know much but I can always teach what I know about physics or flying airplanes..
Oh I'm also good with the portuguese language!
