Mission: Get to know the best places on earth, meet different cultures, improve my world wisdom, have FUN

-------

I love open-mindedness. Try new things, learn new things, fail at new things and make a fool of myself. Meet new people, make friends, smile, repeat. It's so addictive. :)

People who know me see as an open, easy-going, young, fun, serious-when-needed and down to earth guy, easily putting my trust in new people I meet (probably too much). I am known to take things in a relaxed way, don't make a fuzz out of small problems (challenges they should be called!), going a little wacky when bored, sometimes over-engineer solutions (but failing misearably).

PHILOSOPHY
[These "CAPITAL" names are the sections of the old CS website, they are still relevant, so will leave it =)]

Have a list of impossible accomplishment and see how far you get. You'll never be disappointed if you try.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Officially and non officially hosted @ Porto a lot of people. I just got back from 3 years living abroad, where I met and stayed with some really amazing people, who made my experience there one of a kind. And now I hope to do the same.
