I'm almost 40, husband and father of 2 kids.
I love travel and sports, nature and the wilderness.
I work with Geographic Information Services and part-time in a Triathlon store!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm the portuguese translator for Warmshowers.org (WS), a similar website but for fellow bicycle touring enthusiasts! As i love to travel, i like to meet new people on the road and see their version of the places i'm in, i also love to give back that to other travellers. And...receiving travellers is a way of travel as well!

Interests

I love to ride my bike and travel with it. It's my favorite way of seeing the world. Also appreciate to run in the wild, up and down mountains...singletracks are my dope! ;)

When i have the time, i like to work on the land...did some woofing (working in organic farms) and find it was the best way for me to be one with the universe!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Did lots of travels in my motorcycle and now in my bicycle alone, with my kid and now with my wife and kids...it's an adventure!

I've also done a "Pirate Dakar" in a motorcycle in Morroco and it was great!

Teach, Learn, Share

We're allways learning and thus allways teaching. I do have lots of skills, not beeing specialized in only one area: love to cook, farm, ride and maintain bikes, run, talk and be amazed!
