I'm a Portuguese man, from Lisbon, and I am living in Utrecht, and I also lived in Denmark, Brazil, and Portugal. I think right now I'm just trying to discover my place in the world, and how can I make it better, and because of that I love to discover new places, have new experiences and meeting new people. I'm always trying to transform myself to better. I studied Mechanical Engineering so I can say that I'm on a more technological way to understand the world, but I love history, sociology, and philosophy, as I maintain this my interests to be more versatile and open minded. ( I hope I don't sound pretentious).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love traveling and meeting new people, and getting a chance to know the places and some local people is awesome, maybe with the lucky part of getting to know some cool and less touristic places! In some way, getting the rhythm and spirit of the local people is really knowing the place, and that doesn't come in the tourist guides.
