Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

On the 27th of January of 2014 I hosted for the first time.
On the 14th of February of 2014 I surfed for the first time.

I surfed for the first time to Venice and it was a good way to start, met my host and another couchsurfer and we were introduced to great spots in the city. What I specially loved about it was how we got so comfortable with each other. Like long time friends. Expecting a lot more CS experiences!!

After 1 year of Couchsurfing

I surfed a lot and was hosted by great people whom I learned a lot from.
But when hosting I decided to help many people with starting their experience and getting them in contact with even more people to learn from them. I got to host as many as 20 CSers (Boavista Residence it was called :P) and with a lot of managing and good will I tried to provide a great CS experience to everyone. I also tried to make every moment count and make them memorable.

Books: Since a kid I avoid drama and am always with a Book to learn from in my shelve.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

So much stuff and so varied. For now you'll have to meet me and hear me tell it. But I'm trying to start a blog to keep track of all. :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of Porto's history. Some motivation, and had some experience organizing parties so if you need some help with this I can give some tips. Some organizing and leadership skills. I can teach Portuguese and a bit of Spanish.
I was 3 years in physics and I can discuss a bit. But my area now is Marine Biology and it's gonna be my focus for the next years, so talking about it is great.

I've started to Meditate at the beginning of 2015 and I like to explore my mind with different kinds of meditation. I believe we can control our mind, we just keep restraining ouselves with time. I love discussing about this.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I offer my help.
Not much of cooking.
My experience in life, hoping I can help others.
Teach Portuguese, and some life hacks I've learned.
And of course, provide a great mood!
