ABOUT ME
I grew up on a farm in a small village in the mountains in central portugal.
When I was 19 I whent to study in the south for 3 years where I had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, diferent habits, diferent accent, beatiful weather.... I moved to Amsterdam to work and finish my study. Sinds I live here I have had the possibility to travel and live some amazing experiences ... find out a bit more of our planet.
I love good food with a good red wine in the company of my friends. Love to dance and go to concerts.
Enjoy the agitation of a city but also love the silence of the mountains and valleys, which I miss the most lately...
PHILOSOPHY
Go with the flow

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
My first couch experience as a surfer was in Alajuela, Costa Rica with Felipe and Mario. I was a bit ancious about it, but it was just amazing, they treated me like family, they were the most adorable hosts I could meet. That is the nice thing of CC, it isnt about the cheap way of traveling but about meeting new people and making friends for life :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Climb up at 6am the steep mountain of Wayna Picchu in Machu Picchu and see the sun rise. It was just amazing :)
Dance at the celebration of Virgen del Carmo at Paucartambo, it was an amazing colorful festival.
Biking holidays from the north of Portugal to the south, it was amazing to bike 1000km, see portugal by bike and feel my legs gettings stronger everyday :)
Spend 5days on Lady Musgrave Island, we where only 5 people on the island. We snorkeld every day more than once, saw so many turtles, sharks, sting ray, dolfins and with sunset some amazing whales. It was just amazing to have the island for ourselfs.
