Currently in a strange intermediate state between job searching and traveling. Trained engineer, wandering around for the last few month in France, Spain and now Portugal, applying for jobs in Europe while visiting friends, carrying a guitar and enjoying any occasion to trow some sounds in the air with fellow musicians. Learning languages, knowing new cultures, new peoples, explore the infiniteness of different points of view about the world, is an everlasting occupation. Open minded, friendly, I know when to party, and when to stay quiet. More than traveling through countries, I like to travel through different people, and let my sensibility and opinions be changed again and again. Want to meet up? ;-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been hosted by a couchsurfer few years ago in thailand whithout knowing the website, and I really loved it. I visit and host people quite often in a couchsurfing fashion. But now for the first time in a while I'm in a country where I don't know anybody (Portugal), so I finally signed up!

Interests

A lot of my free time for the last 5 years is spend learning guitar, mostly how to improvise and play with people.
I am a passioned cook. I love cooking simple, healthy and tasty food for as many people as I can. I just love to invite many people at home and cook and drink wine and play music altogether!
Sportly wise, after having practiced judo and capoeira for years, I made a pause due to injury and I am for now practicing yoga.
Keeping myself informed about economy, politics, history, nutrition, health, technology, to have a critical point of view over the world we live in and try to grasp the complexity of it, and avoid radical opinions as everything is always more subtle than it seems.
