CURRENT MISSION

Love one another. Or at least give it a good try.

ABOUT ME

I am still figuring out about that...

For now I can say I don't mind sticking my feet in the mud for the sake of a good hike. Plus, I am a non-judgemental and calm dude, a Christian (but not a stereotype), and a strong supporter of licking ice cream lids ;)

I like to spend quality time with my friends and family and seize the day in simplicity. I can be as serious as a stone or clumsily goofy - it's up to you. I am calm and also a bit timid at first, but that makes me a very good listener. It will feel like you got a free ticket to the psychologist!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing for me is about going as local as possible, and getting a feel of what it is like to be in someone else's shoes.

Interests

I am very passionate about culture, nature, religion, art, languages (I am learning French now) and food - but not very much into alcohol and soda though, lucky your cellar.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

- I retrieved my iPad's cover at night in Niagara Falls without wearing my glasses. A great achievement if you are short-sighted at night in another country. Thanks Mother Nature!
- My first rapel was in a mall in Lisbon. In the outside, of course.

Teach, Learn, Share

As a host, it will be a pleasure to share tips on the city, show you around, cook some typical Brazilian or Portuguese dishes and give instructions on how "not" to make a carrot cake.

P.S. I will not mess up your house. I am a hygienic and well-organised dude :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

I will surely bring you a souvenir :) Also, I can teach Portuguese, cook some typical dishes…
