Overview
About Me
Difficult to explain myself, but I guess as tons of people around the world, specially in communities like this one, I have found myself traveling everywhere and finding very hard to stop. I've lived a regular life, studying a lot, got my degree in Teaching, and working office hours till I went to Australia to learn English in 2011 and hardly stopped anywhere for too long since. Doing all sorts of jobs, from working in organic farms in Portugal, living in a Kibbutz in Israel, dog walking in Sydney, teaching English in Thailand and so on. I can say I am a very easy going, respectful and honest person, that really appreciates the simple but meaningful things in life like friends, family, a tasty meal, a good drink, music, nature and art.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
The more I travel the more it comes to me that people are what make the difference. The connections, the conversations, culture, experience, learning, all comes from the exchange between each other. What a better way to do that then staying in local stranger's house while travelling around?

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
It's hard to name just one, but in that case I would say having the courage to quit my job at the stock market, brake up an engagement, drop out on the way to get my second degree, selling my apartment and moving to Australia in an adventure that it is still going 8 years later.
