Overview
About Me
I consider myself a nice and tolerant person. I'm not easily annoyed and i've always loved meeting new people. I'm always up for a new adventure, open conversations about any topics, friendly debates, new experiences, and so on.
I'm currently studying in Coimbra, Portugal, taking my college degree in computer engineering. If you're thinking about visiting Coimbra, think no more and do it, it's one of the cities with the most student traditions in Portugal, and who knows, in the world.
If there's anything else you'd like to know about me, just ask.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I heard about couchsurfing from someone i met in a facebook "hitchhiking" group where you find out someone who's going to the same place you are, give him some money for fuel and you get a ride there. He told me that when he took a semester abroad he used to be a host for a lot of people, and i loved the concept and the idea. So i thought, why not? it's a great way to meet a lot of new people, a lot of new cultures, and a lot of new countries. It's also a great way to save some euros, and since i'm planning an interrail with the lowest budget possible (the budget from a student), i thought a double why not, and created my profile here.
Interests
I love watching series. My favourite one was breaking bad.
When i was younger my bicycle was my life companion, and i still love to ride it, even though i ride it a lot less now.
A lot of times i find myself thinking about the unknow and about what's happening around me, why it's happening and what does it mean.
I'm still finding out the joys of travelling, and i could use help from everyone. A few tips on your home town are always useful!
Music, Movies, and Books
My favourite band is Pink Floyd, and it's the greatest band ever!
My favourite "book" is the eragon series.
I really can't choose just one favourite movie, but a movie I really loved was interstellar.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Went around Europe by train, just me and my backpack.
Teach, Learn, Share
Portugal is a great country. It might be a small one, with only 11m habbitants, but it sure does have a lot of culture. We were once one of the richest countries in the world, being the pioneers in travelling across the ocean and discovering a lot of other countries.
The 3 main cities in Portugal are Lisbon (Capital), Porto (second biggest) and Coimbra (3rd biggest).
There are a lot of historic monuments and beautiful places to visit, with great landscapes. It's a country worth visiting. If you need more specific tips about a city, just ask. I'll tell you what i know, and search what i don't know!
What I Can Share with Hosts
My cooking skills (yes, that's right, i'm able to prepare edible food!)
My great sense of humour
Everything that's happened to me that's at least a little bit funny (a.k.a. my stories)
How to play the 5 or 6 songs i can play on a guitar.
...and so much more!
