My name is Gonçalo Paulo and I'm a second year masters student in physics that is currently writing his thesis.

I also take part, by spending all my free time, in climate activism, being both part of the Fridays For Future movement in Portugal, which is called Greve Climática Estudantil, and also Climáximo, a open and horizontal group that fights for climate justice through direct non-violent actions.

I enjoy taking photos and always take my analog camera to everywhere I go. When I'm feeling creative I also draw and paint and recently I'm really into making recycled paper and hand-sowed books.

I always hope can have a lot of discussions about the meaning of life, the universe and everything.
I really enjoy failing to explain simple, and hard, physics and maths concepts so if you are into that we for sure are going to have a great time

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planing on doing trips through Europe and think this is one of the best ways to get affordable housing and to know people from those countries.
I think that the counchsurfing community is one of the best communities to get to know different, interesting and all around good people from all over the world.

Teach, Learn, Share

I will try and answer any question you have about the Universe although I will probably won't know the answer as well. I can also do some really bad drawings if you want to keep some memories.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Apart from what I have written above I also have a very poor taste in most of the arts and can give very poor advice on what to do, watch or listen.
