CURRENT MISSION

To know people, places, cultures, food & dance styles. Learn more, live intensively and enjoy people.

ABOUT ME

I'm big (190cm - 6.23 feet) and adventurer kind of person. I love to learn different subjects, to be in touch with different cultures/people/places and I'm always ready to dance salsa/tango/ballroom/african/whatever!!

I'm a tech guy (programming, web consulting, etc) as profession, teacher (tech or dance related), student (doing my master), masseur (not often, because I don't have always time free and I'm not cheap!), barman & carpenter & farmer on holidays :)

I love to cook. I mainly cook Mediterranean dishes (portuguese food), but I can do some french, chinese, brasilian, italian (pasta anyone?) food. And I won't tell you my secret desert!

Did I mention that I love to travel? And that I have a certain comic/funny side? Oh... sorry!! ;-)

PHILOSOPHY

The easier thing possible is the best thing.
Live each day, day by day.
Be yourself, but don't always be the same!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

As guest:
I don't smoke. I don't have pets.

I'm a 5-10 minutes shower believer (saving water as much I can).

I buy and make my own food, but I accept if you want to offer it, I'm not rude! I just don't want to make you problems.

As host:
Smoking and pets aren't allowed at my place.
Since I live on a rented room and I split the expenses, please try to have short showers, don't let the electricity on without propose, ok?
Please be clean and everything will be perfect.
