I'm an architect, with strong professional interests also in set design, interior design and landscaping design. Currently I live and work in Coimbra. I lived abroad once, during a fantastic erasmus year in Macau (China). I would describe myself as a classical guy. I find interests in a big range of areas, what also makes me a very easy going and open mind guy, but alone i will straight to classical music concerts, opera, theater, gardening, walking around the city(ies), exihibitions, ancient and contemporary art, photography and a good time reading on a spot. I'm interested in architecture, heritage, cultural spots, and traditional places each city.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I really like to meet up interesting people. I would say people with whom I share good vibes and positif energy, as also same life philosophy. So, every time I'm traveling, I do search for a more personal experience, that's why I consider myself friend of 3 of my ancient hosts. Nothing exceeds, once arrived to the host place at the end of the day, the sharing of ideas about what I saw/read/listen during the day. And it is really a privilege when we leave the city with a sensation of leaving a friend(s) there.
