ABOUT ME

Hello, my name is Terry Costa.
I am a director of theatre, dance, music events and run the international arts festival in the Azores islands called AZORES FRINGE, among ohter festivals and events.

I had another profile while I lived in Canada. I started this profile in 2008 when I thought I was moving to Azores but it took over 3 years for the actual move ;) and facebook (Terry Costa and also Terry Portugal Costa) has taken over most of my social networking time.
In 2012 I returned to couchsurfing site, mostly to host but I do sometimes need some hosting places where i travel - it is usually more fun.
I travel often across Europe and all over USA and Canada. Lately have done a few months in Brazil and also been to Japan. Have never been to Australia, but would like to one day.

But yes, my residence is in the beautiful island of Pico, Azores.
When I am on the island I do have a home that I can welcome a guest or two, but I must be on the island for that to happen. Also, we have support for artists wishing to do something on the Island. Come for an artistic-residency from a few days to a month... why not? ;) Send an email to info@mirateca.com if you have an artistic project you wish to develop on the Island - does not matter what it is www.mirateca.com

Looking forward to continuing meeting awesome people worldwide.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

meeting people from around the world; end of May to August I am overcrowded with artists due to the Azores Fringe Festival, and of course friends visiting for summer... other times of year it is easier to find a bed or couch ;)
