I'm Hugo. 28. Spanish. Living in Lisbon since 2015.

I majored in Psychology and later in Fine Art Photography.

By the moment, I work as a behaviour therapist with kids with autism. During the day.

At nights I cook in a hostel. I've been doing this for three years (when I couldn't host or travel) and I've had the chance of meeting countless people from every spot of the world. Almost felt like being on the move (almost).

I also write (I guess literature is my true passion) and take pictures sometimes.

I'm a easy-going, down-to-earth person. Sometimes I like to talk a lot about a bunch of random things, sometimes I just like to be quiet and listen. I'm an independent person who loves when two people are together in silence doing different things.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm on Couchsurfing because my experience tells me that it's a great way of meeting people while traveling, share experiences and learn (besides not spending money in accommodation (the truth be said).

I've both hosted and surfed in the past, always with a positive feedback.
