About Me

A Portuguese guy who likes being in a intercultural setting, so I end up using couchsurfing just to meet people even while I'm in my hometown!

Life's short, and I want to live it fully while I can. Make friends from all over the world, experience new things, see new places.

Since September 2018 I've been to:
- Nantes (❤️) 🇫🇷
- Antwerp 🇧🇪
- Amsterdam 🇳🇱
- León, Sevilla, Bilbao 🇪🇸
- Naples, Brindisi di Montagna, Matera 🇮🇹 (Basilicata region)
- Tropea 🇮🇹 (Calabria region)
- Athens 🇬🇷
- Dilijan 🇦🇲
- Madrid 🇪🇸
- Copenhagen 🇩🇰
- Malmo 🇸🇪
- Catania, Messina (Sicily) 🇮🇹
- Málaga 🇪🇸

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I realized that it would be a good way to meet locals and travelers with the same mindset I have.

Interests

I'm always trying to learn new things.
I want to push myself to be better and get out of my comfort zone. I try to live life mindfully, to live in the moment, appreciate others. I think time is finite and invaluable (although I still get late to places sometimes 😬)

I've been participating regularly in Erasmus projects (6 so far), was part of ESN Lisbon for 2 years and have been thinking about joining an NGO.

I love arts, and will probably like anything that I can use to create and express myself.
Recently started learning how to surf, and got back into skateboarding after a couple of years.
I love the nature, having adventures, exploring things.

And I always carry my camera everywhere 😉

I love pets, so if you can host me and have one that's definitely a plus ahah

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen mostly to Hip-Hop and R+B, and I dance mostly to Brazilian Funk and Reggaeton, but my tastes vary a lot ahah

Some of the movies I enjoyed the most were "American History X", "Inception", "The perks of being a wallflower" and " The Grand Budapest Hotel"

I grew up reading the Harry Potter books, my last 2 books were "The Alchemist" and "Lord of the Flies".

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lost the bus from Bilbao to Lisbon. Then, convinced the driver of the next bus to take me for free to Porto (Oporto).
From Porto I took a lift to Lisbon with a guy who was a model.
We got along well and ended up doing an improvised photo session that same day, when we arrived in Lisbon.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm not a great cook, but I can bring you tradicional pastries or wine from Portugal 😁

I'd like to practice my Spanish and make friends from all over the world.
I think everyone has something interesting to share, if you're willing to teach me something I'll be willing to learn it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can teach you some Adobe Photoshop/Illustrator/Lightroom if you want, as those are the programs I work with the most.
I can also teach you the basic theory of tattooing if you ever wondered how it works, and photography.

I can also take pretty pictures of you for your instagram ahah, I'm always with my camera.
