About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To be happy!

ABOUT ME

Physically, I think you can check the photo! Im not very tall (~1.7m), but I don't care much =). I like to think that people enjoy being around me, because so far that has been the case basically always! I sometimes talk too loud, mostly when I had a drink or two... So remind me to keep my voice down, we don't want to wake the neighbours up! I used to play the violin, but have now forgot almost everything... Changed to guitar, but I don't play enough to make real progress =(

PHILOSOPHY

I like to think out of the box... Its a free world and we "make" ourselves... Only we can fight for our goals, wether we reach them or not :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to spread the word about Couchsurfing! I have hosted and been hosted, and told friends who became pretty avid CS'ers :D

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Staying with Stephen was awesome! Showing people around Belém/Cascais is always fun... Since I moved to France I have also started hosting :)

Interests

computers, movies, music, TRAVELLING, meeting new people, discussing interesting/weird subjects, poker, economy, sleeping, and I guess the list goes on :D

how could I forget eating!

  • drinking
  • movies
  • traveling
  • poker
  • music
  • guitar
  • violin
  • backpacking
  • boxing

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I can listen and enjoy almost any genre... it basically comes down to if the music "says" something to me, and if it doesn't, if I like the melody/rythm/lyrics.
If you want band names: Dire Straits, Bon Jovi, Meat Loaf, Mariah Carey (old songs), Queen, Foo Fighters, Diana Krall...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through Europe twice!
