About Me

A people's person. A traveler and a thinker - an eternal explorer of the wonders, both of the world and of the mind.
A simplistic guy.

Vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the best things in travelling is to be able to meet new people every day, from diferent backgrounds and with diferent ways of being and thinking... It's a basic need - communication.
With couchsurfing, we can not only comunicate, but actually live and learn while we do so. It creates a closer conection between people, and i'm all up for that!

Interests

ART - Mostly cinema and music. Also photography and dance. Writing.
PEOPLE - The human being is such an interesting piece of Nature...
The UNIVERSE and all inside.
Beauty.

Cannabis as a recreational and medicinal tool - not a drug.
Animals as living beings - not food.
Life as an oportunity - not a granted thing.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

JUNE/JULY 2015
Me and a friend of mine bought a one-way flight ticket to Milan, Italy, from Porto, Portugal, and made no plans for the rest of the trip. We only had one goal: return home safely, spending none or as less money as possible.
Two guys, two backpacks, one tent.
We did it in 17 days, crossing 7 countries, and spending only 0,80€ from the money we had.
I witnessed in first person the kindness and beauty of the people living on this planet; it was the most life-changing experience i've had so far!
