Hello from Portugal!

I'm a Mechanical Engineering student from Lisbon, Portugal. I'm still finding my passions around the world and about people. However, I can guarantee you that one found passion is machines, specially mechanical ones (just about right with the studies, hein? :D), and another one, is without a doubt, rollercoasters (I'm riding one in my profile picture!). I also love to know what thrives people to keep doing what they to most and best - may it be at sports, jobs, or just hobbies!

I have a pretty ambicious dream and I would gladly share with you if you ask me! (Mystery... :D)

I used to be a federated kayak athlete (and there's a picture of me about it, yay!), and nowadays I practice once and a while, in a sea-town near Lisboa called Sesimbra. This sport is becoming more and more popular here in Portugal mainly because we have perhaps the best kayak practicer in the world - Fernando Pimenta.

I'm a easy laugh - I can laugh with the smallest of things and I hope I'm able to make you laugh aswell, simply because that's what thrives a good relationship and I sure do like to see you smile.

If you ever stop by Lisbon, we could always have a chat and have a coffee :)

Until then, cheers!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When doing an interrail trip around Europe, summer of 2018, I stayed at some couchsurfers, mainly at Barcelona, Amsterdam and Paris, and all of them where amazing! So I'm excited to visit some more countries, to meet new people whom I can share experiences with and to get me fascinated with everything I could possible learn from you :)

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: I'm not going to lie, I enjoy listening to the radio and the current trending songs in the world. However, I'm a sucker for specific artists or bands, like Eminem, Linkin Park, RHCP, and specially Metallica. I also often listen to Trap, Techno, Drum&Bass, and G-House genres. The great Hans Zimmer cannot be missed with his epic vibes too. I also enjoy listening to new genres of music, this way I can find new passions for music! From all of entertainment forms, music it's without a doubt the best one :)

Movies: I do like some comedy - the ones that have a bunch of nonsense involved (like the famous The dictator), sci-fi - and specially those movies with a post-apocalyptic set, or that evolves twisting mind-benders (I'm talking to you, Interstellar), and finally some action/adventure movies - currently I'm in the mood for Tom Cruise or Denzel Washington movies!

Books: Harry Potter saga (J.K. Rowling), The Martian (Andy Weir), F̶u̶n̶d̶a̶m̶e̶n̶t̶a̶l̶s̶ ̶o̶f̶ ̶H̶e̶a̶t̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶M̶a̶s̶s̶ ̶T̶r̶a̶n̶s̶f̶e̶r̶ ̶(̶I̶n̶c̶r̶o̶p̶e̶r̶a̶)̶
