About Me

CURRENT MISSION

It's like they say... life is a journey, you better enjoy the ride!

ABOUT ME

I'm 24 years old, portuguese. I was born in a small town in the north of Portugal but I've been living in Lisbon for a few years now. I studied Business and Finance, have been working for two years and I've recently took on DJing.
Chilled, easygoing, always up for new experiences, sometimes more to the introvert side (I'm a pretty good listener), ... So, hmm, let's go for a beer? ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meeting as many people as I can. Will start participating in meetings (unfortunately cannot host regularly, since my roommates are not as couchsurfing-enthusiasts as I am)
