By the way, been experiencing some problems with connecting my facebook to this account, but this is the link for it: https://www.facebook.com/francisco.monteiro.980

And this is my instagram, in case you're interested: https://www.instagram.com/francisco.mnteiro/

Francisco, from Portugal, you can call me Francis or Kiko, I am a 20 year old Economics student and I am currently doing my exchange semester in Seoul, South Korea.

I've been loving the experience, especially the culture shock, never in Portugal would people go out on a monday or tuesday ahah!

I love playing the piano (10 years and counting) and everything music related, actually! Sports is also great, especially football (btw, both Ronaldo and Messi are the best).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My willigness to meet different people, to contact with other ways of thinking, to taste different types of food, and to see the wonders of this world said: "I want to travel".

My wallet said: "No, you can't..."

...and then, as miracle maker,
as a superhero,
as Genius of the Lamp,
...Couch Surfing appered.

Despite all, Japan has been on my mind ever since I started with videogames like kingdom hearts and final fantasy (10 for me) and animes (gintama, fullmetal alchemist brotherhood,...) and this trip will be a dream come true either way, even if my wallet says otherwise!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I watched Breaking Bad in like what, 4 days?

Jk, I would say think despite being a big chicken many times, I've always done things that scare me. My legs shake with just the thought of heights, but I've done rappel, some hikes that seem more like mountain climbing and have my parachuting jump schedule for next february... Might not be all that impressive, but for me it is ahah.
