Hi,

I recently finished my MSc in Physics and as you can imagine a lot of "What jobs can you get with that?" was answered. Well, my answer is that you can go work for the European Space Agency which I will be doing in September (although not as an astronaut xD). For this reason, now it is the chance to take back some of the freedom lost during uni times and enjoy new places and people.

Apart from my studies, I am a big football fan (SL Benfica supporter here) and as long as work allows it I hope to keep playing as a goalkeeper. Additionally, I have been swimming since I was little and started bouldering recently (although I am still shit at it, still finding it quite funny).

For more information, you can read the remaining 10000 lines I wrote down under about myself or simply choose one of the following
1. Request hosting
2. Accept hosting me
3. Just send a message and let's meet!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it gives me the opportunity to discover and share new places, cultures and meet with people from all around the world without having to sell one kidney per trip. I started hosting while I was an Erasmus student in Munich and afterward was I the thankful traveler receiving shelter and a warm mattress. Unfortunately, since I moved back to Portugal to my parents' place I had to stop hosting people because they wouldn't feel comfortable about it. But well moving to Germany again soon, so let us see when I will be able to give back to the community again!

Stuff
This one is a very complicated item to fill in the profile

What I Can Share with Hosts

Well I can share with you some Portuguese culture, cook some Portuguese food which will for sure include codfish (unless it is a dessert, we haven't gone to such extremes yet). Also a friend of big conversations around a table just with a pack of cards on one hand and a bottle on the other.
