About Me

Born in Portugal, grown in Porto and matured in London, I've had a great opportunity to travel and meet many incredible people whilst working and studying.

But now that my time at uni has ended, I came back to Portugal to solidify the my roots with this country, to better know its past history and develop activities with the local communities, in the north of Portugal along side with my life mate Carolina.

However, travel thirst is still very present and at some moments it becomes very hard not to leave home and explore the wonders of the world.

Love surfing and go as often as I can to the sea. Always carry my cameras around me; always available to try new dishes and learn how to proper make already known ones.

Eager to cross with unexpected gems in the places I go to, and learn from them.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travel doesn't happen and it doesn't make sense if, along the way, we do not meet people from the spots we go to and listen to what those people have to say and tell about it.

Under that circumstance, it makes all sense to be part of this community and get to know so many people as to confirm what we sometimes tend to forget: that people are inherently good and welcoming.

Interests

Fooooolk music and dance. It is something growing a lot in my life. A few of my travels are now done because of that, and wish to have more of that in the near future!

Photography is a constant; the same goes for literature.

Love film; can't live without music :)
