About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a calm, outgoing person. I like to meet new people, and having nice conversations pretty much about anything. Enough with the cliché now... hahaha
I'm interested in literature, music, football (soccer) and partying. I do get carried away when talking about something that I like... and sometimes I talk too loud please feel free to tell me to shut up sometimes, or to keep my voice down ;)

If you're hosting me:
Please tell me what your rules/preferences are. I'll follow them.
Tell me what I should bring, sheets, blankets, etc.
I'll clean everything that I use, and help with anything needed.
I do not smoke.
I won't bring any pet to your house, but I am comfortable with you having pets.
Expect someone with a great humour =]

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy life... expand your personal experiences, get to know the world as much as you can. There is no such thing as useless culture and when you're open to new possibilities you can meet wonderful people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to be a nice guest wherever I go, and bring something about my own culture and experience to others. I'm a volunteer member of the Portuguese CS Translation Team.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had some CouchSurfing-like experiences even before knowing about CS... hosted some people and stayed at friend's couches on some trips.

I've been very lucky with my CS experiences, everyone I met, surfed with or hosted have been GREAT and they all added something to my own being.

Language.
Music.
Football. (and pretty much any other sport)
