I'm 31 years old, originally from Aveiro, Portugal, but currently living in Perth, Australia. I work as a web developer and have two main passions in life: photography and traveling. I've been lucky enough to combine these passions and explore different parts of the world, capturing unique moments through my lens.

I'm a clean and courteous guy, always respectful of others' spaces and cultures. Traveling has taught me the value of kindness, openness, and adaptability. Whether it's hiking through nature, exploring vibrant cities, or discovering hidden gems off the beaten path, I love immersing myself in new experiences.

Through Couchsurfing, I hope to meet amazing people, share stories, and create unforgettable memories. I believe that the best way to experience a place is through the eyes of locals, and I'm excited to learn about your culture and share mine as well.

As a guest, you can expect me to be considerate, tidy, and enthusiastic about contributing to the household in any way I can. I enjoy cooking and would love to prepare a traditional Portuguese meal for you. I'm also eager to learn about your favorite spots in your city and join you in any local activities or events.

Looking forward to connecting with fellow travelers and hosts, and making meaningful connections along the way.

Interests

I love playing guitar, surfing, and most of all, traveling! I've always been an ambitious person, constantly seeking solutions to life's challenges. Music is a big part of my life, and I enjoy playing guitar during my downtime, whether it's strumming by the beach or jamming with friends. Surfing is another passion that keeps me connected to nature and the ocean's energy.

Traveling is at the heart of my interests. I thrive on exploring new cultures, meeting diverse people, and experiencing different ways of life. Each journey is an adventure that enriches my perspective and fuels my creativity.

In addition to these hobbies, I have a curious mind and enjoy learning new skills. Whether it's picking up a new language, trying out a new recipe, or diving into a good book, I'm always eager to expand my horizons. I also love photography, capturing the beauty and essence of the places I visit.

Connecting with people from around the world is something I deeply value. I believe that sharing stories, experiences, and knowledge is one of the most enriching aspects of life. I’m excited to meet like-minded individuals and create lasting memories together.
