CURRENT MISSION

Learning multiple techniques of cosmic dissolution. Expanding my spirit and my art.

ABOUT ME

I'm chris, a nice guy.

I currently live in Lisbon, Portugal, working as a Software Engineer. I love music, cinema and literature.

I'm interested in discussing about many different topics, mainly the human condition, civilization, politics, spirituality and practically almost everything that makes part of our life. I'm a very interested and curious dude. I drift around through Kafkian impossibilities, Lynchean ambiances and Hessian spiritualities, but above all i'm happy to be alive :)

I could not live without satellite-transmissions from the sun gods, carbon based lifeforms, fruity ice-creams, a guitar and a heartbreak, wooden floors and cups of tea, melody, harmony and rhythm.

In the upcoming months, I will start a 6-month trip through Greece, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan and India. During these months on the road, I will be working on a personal project involving travel, poetry and photography. You can learn more about it below!

Well, if you're curious just come and meet me, or host me somewhere :)

PHILOSOPHY

Breathe slowly and enjoy :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I try to give my couchsurfers a good experience, and get one in retribution! I haven't surfed much, but that will soon change :) Until now i've only met amazing people.

I will start a big trip very soon, and hope to meet some great people, and have some caring love shared with me!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

After I participated in the Erasmus program in Barcelona for one year, I became very interested in meeting people from different places and sharing experiences. I then made a trip to Poland and stayed at the homes of wonderful, beautiful, amazing people, experience which made me start thinking about couchsurfing :)
