I’m a young Portuguese freelancer artist, musician and writer.
I live in a constant gap year, been traveling, working and living abroad since I finished high-school, and can’t imagine living stuck to a routine anymore.
A spiritual being living a human experience!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and really try to connect to the places I visit, its culture and life and the locals, that’s why Couchsurfing has been such an amazing tool!
I’ve met amazing people, stayed in all types of places, hosted foreigners myself and have the most amazing and fun travel stories thanks to this exchanges.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love most genres of music and I’m always open to find new ones! Still, my favorite genres are progressive rock and metal.

I am not picky at all when it comes to cinema, but I’d rather watch a movie that will surely blow my mind, something with a deeper meaning, such as Interstellar or Inception, for an instance.

I enjoy reading and I’m passionate about Visual Arts, from spending hours without end exploring a museum to and drawing/painting/sculpturing myself; in case you want to check my music and art work on Instagram: @a_flipar

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Since I finished high-school, I’ve been traveling and living abroad doing all kinds of things. I was a volunteer in Romania for a year, working with children and non-formal education. Afterwards, I lived as an AuPair twice in Spain while working on my personal music and art projects and teaching English.
I used to have 2 rock bands (one of originals, one of covers) in which I sang, played bass, keyboard and guitar. Now I have a solo project, been playing live lately and soon I’ll have a full album recorded as well :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to share my music and art with anyone who wants to listen :)
Also love to cook, as a vegan I can get very creative in the kitchen.

I’m looking forward to meet new people (and their pets, if that’s the case xp) and exchange whatever we feel like sharing. I’m a very open-minded person and I believe that we can always learn something from anyone. I am a very chill and relaxed person, an empath, so I respect everyone’s privacy and alone time, when needed.
Here to have the best time!

What I Can Share with Hosts

My music and artistic skills, perhaps some help with cooking vegan recipes, a conversation about anything, from the most chilled chat to the deepest secrets of the universe. I know how to be alone and love my own company therefore I’m sure you’d feel comfortable around me.
