*Now in Madrid*

Hey, I'm Diogo!

I'm Brazilian and have been living in Lisbon since 2017. I work for an Estonian software company as a Customer Success Manager, which basically means I'm responsible for some customers we have in many different countries in the world. Our logo is a cat.

I am happy to live in a city that provides so much, from cultural events to open-air spaces, the beach, and nature; diverse cuisine, and a relatively good work-life balance.

If you send me a request, share a book/movie/music recommendation :)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

People here are good. I've been a member for over a decade and first connected with people in my exchange in Australia. Later I got the chance to host and be a guest but kept on meeting people to hang out and be friends, not only in Lisbon but everywhere I visit.

兴趣

When I go out I'm usually sitting with friends at the park or somewhere eating and drinking, and here and there we party too.

I try to swim and do yoga every week and sometimes play tennis too.

I love the idea of cultural exchange, to experience places and see the world from different perspectives. (as cliché as it may sound, but it's true).

教，学，和分享

- As a Portuguese native speaker, I'm happy to help whoever is learning it or just curious.

- I come from a very rich land in terms of culture and I'm always happy to talk about the place I come from and Brazil in general

- I love languages. I speak some, want to speak more, and love to learn even a few words of a new language.

- Tell me your stories and tell you mine.
