Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Toujours un peu plus loin.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Awesome! I love the initiative and the people!
I also surfed some couches in France and participated actively in events in Utrecht(NL) and Belgium. I hope to keep the same pace here in Portugal too!

Interests

I have interest in all that is worthy, but my main ones have to do with everything related with geography, nature and environment, art, photography, sports (rugby, football, surfing, tennis, windsurf, scuba diving!) and...travelling!!
