About Me

I was born in 1992, Portugal, spent my childhood in Rio de Janeiro (Brasil) from 1996 to 2004.
Currently a Business Intelligence Master student at Nova IMS University in Portugal and looking forward for new adventures abroad.

Have done it several side jobs to pay for my tuition: Children summer monitor, bartender, call-center operator, intern tech and most recently as Uber Driver.

I consider myself a very curious person, easy laugh, always available to meet and know strangers from around the world.

Working on my growth as human being :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

The experience of knowing people from Erasmus at my university planted a seed, of wondering what is like outside. I started planning some trips and the best way to know a country is with the native people. On hotels and tour guide I feel restricted while the budget is short for that as well :p

First trip I am aiming is for London, an old dream, hoping to know this city and the rest of England, but still searching for info :)

But planing never goes accord to what you imagine, so in oct 2016, I went to Brussels, Prague, Warsaw and let's see what is next ^^

Music, Movies, and Books

"The Heist" from Daniel Silva, the main character is Gabriel Allon, a spy caught in a conflict of interests and a dead body in Italy.

My favorite collection it was the Eragon series, the Inheritance Cycle.

Movies there are plenty, the most recent is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", watched over than 4 times already and still love it. Straight Outta Compton it's a great movie as well. Mostly I prefer reality based movies but in general I see every kind.

Tv Shows is on the same situation as Movies, so the recent I am following is "Ray Donovan", it's very very good. My favorite TV Shows, might go with Dexter and Dr.House.

Currently waiting/watching:
-Vikinkgs
-Ray Donovan
-Silicon Valley
-Mr. Robot

Current
- book: The Witcher - Time of contempt
- series : Vikings

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

12 hours in a Bus trip from Brussels, arriving 6 a.m to Prague, nap for two hours, unpack, shower, and walk through almost the city main places: Castle, Old Town, Charles Bridge, Compass site view and the garden behind it.
Went straight to a restaurant to have dinner(Tatarac) and to a Czech pub where got tipsy and then home.

Somehow my body handle it all xD

Walked 17 km in one day(it's a hilly city) through Lisbon so good friend in a fast paced visit could see most of Lisbon 🤘💪🏽😊🤓

Recently:

Sleeping on top of a cliff with a wonderful view to the Mediterranean sea
