PLS READ MY PROFILE

If your plan is just to travel in a very cheap way and you are only looking for a place to sleep don't contact me, i am in couchsurfing because i like to share experiences, not for charity.

If you come on the weekend and i ask you if you would like to go out, pls be prepared because the nightlife in Porto ends very late (like 6AM) and it only really starts at 2am, if you are not interested in this kind of experience do not contact me! (Just in case i ask you because i normally go out on weekends)

I smoke and drink i hope you are confortable about it because you are not going to change me.

Now, i know i looked rude, i am not, but as you can imagine i receive many requests and sometimes from people that are not my type, i just want to avoid that, i want to have fun with you and i want to know more about your culture, i don't want to spend two days wishing you to go away! If you are cool and if we are in the same vibe feel free to contact me, i can be a great host, at least it's what people say. ;)

ABOUT PORTUENSES

The “portuenses” (people from porto) believe that we live in the best city in Portugal, actually not only in Portugal but in the entire world. Portuenses are unique people and we don’t like anything that is related to Lisboa, deal with it.

Porto is called the undefeated city, because we’ve never been conquered, not by the Romans, not by Napolean neither by the Arabs.

We’ve a special accent that is as big as our ego, when we’re not in Porto we let people notice where we are coming from, we speak loud, not like the Italians, but yeah, I am sure you are getting the point.

We love tourists, people in here can't see a tourist with a problem. Portuenses will come up to you and will help you. Even those who can't speak English will find a way to help you out. The most friendly and helpful people that you can find.

Rio Douro, D. Luis bridge, Fontainhas, Ribeira, Piolho, beach, surf, Dragon Stadium, Casa da Musica, Port caves, University, Street Santa Catarina, Galerias, hundreds of bars, food and much more, this is all related to us.

The portuenses have a misplaced pride in themselves. Are exaggerated and egocentric. I Admit it, i could be different but i was born in Porto, so I suffer from all this demons.

Welcome to the best place in the world.

PS: This presentation is sarcastic on propose, i am just trying to involve you on the City Spirit. If you want to know me read the recommendations, I bet others can describe me better than I do.

Regarding my music i am a fan of Rock music, alternative music and some electro music. I just scan't stand to listen commercial stuff, just don't bring it to me but i would like to listen some stuff from your own country

教，学，和分享

I'm going to share the 9 things that you can only learn from Porto:

1. Learn the proper way to eat a Francesinha and be a man about it.
The Francesinha is a traditional dish with a large beef between two slices of homemade bread, an egg, sausage, all of that drenched in heated cheese. Your heart will beat fast, if you don't pass out you'll be fine, continue eating.

2. How to tolerate cold water at the beach.
Yeah, we have sunny skies and we have amazing beaches that will make go insane but, yes, the water is so cold that will make your chest hair grow two inches. Welcome to the Atlantic,baby.

3.Women in Porto know how to stood up for themselves.
Porto has beautiful ladies that can smell fear. When talking to one be polite, above all, otherwise...you might get slapped.

4. Master the art of getting by.
After spending a little more time in the city, you'll find out that the people here they got one thing down: no matter how hard the situation you're in is, one way or another, they know that they'll get by.

5. There is a way to get beggars off you back.
Porto is a small town, sooner or later you're going to figure out that the beggars all know each other and usually even work together and better, they have a big boss. Once you've figure out who it is, make friends, buy him a hot-dog and you'll never be bothered again.

6. People will come up to you, deal with it.
Porto's people are special, they just wanna get to know you and will, without shyness or awkwardness, approach you for a number of silly reasons. Bottom line: they like to get to know new people. Don't be scared, be nice.

7. South is a deadman's land.
Say no to all things past the river Douro. Yep, not cool. Lisbon? Where is it? You've never heard of it.

8. The Name is Porto, not Oporto.
Your name is Peter, not Opeter.
Your name is Rita, not Orita.
You get the point.

9.There's never a dull moment here.
People get bored everywhere but here. There's always somewhere to be, something to do and someone to see.
