About Me

Places and people, that's the two important things in my life, and I want to know more and more and more...

About me... well, I'm open minded, trying to take my life easily, I always love to have a nice moment with my friends somewhere in the world...

Music (folk, progressive rock, jazz...) and sports (football, hockey...) will always be a good justification to take a time with my friends, usually their attendance is enough, even without music or sports :-D

I wait for your support to finish my profile, if it is possible...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Places and people, that's the two important things in my life, and I want to know more and more and more... Couchsurfing is the best tool that I ever met to achieve that "goal"...

Interests

I'm a fan of all kind of sports (football, hockey, rugby...), in a regular basis I'm in a stadium watching some live game, ok I know, the 21 century disease, but no one is perfect and I'm not healthy... :-D

Currently I'm trying to discover folk music from all over the world, I allways heard music outside of FM circuit...

Music, Movies, and Books

Fernando Pessoa is a Portuguese poet from the begining of 20th century, when I'm with a read feeling usually I read something from Fernando Pessoa.

I hear music from Dream Theater (USA), Stratovarius (Fin), Dazkarieh (Por)...

My favourite movies are Shawshank Redemption, Braveheart (why not? excelent story in a beatifull places...), Ocean's 11, 12 and 13...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went alone to China for a 4 months job experience with my company!

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, I'm trying now to introduce myself in the culinary world... I accept all the suggestions to improve my poor talents :-D

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm living in one of the most traditional districts of the city, a kind of a small village inside the city!
In front of my apartement you have probably one of the best spots to hear the traditional portuguese song (Fado), you also will find in my street nice pubs to have a drink and meet some other locals.
I'll be proud to be your local guide around the city :-)
