CURRENT MISSION

To enjoy life everyday, because this is the only one I'll have...

ABOUT ME

I'm the nicest guy in Porto!! :) I've been living near the centre of Porto for almost three years now, and it's been great, because it's now easier to enjoy my free time in the best possible way, which includes going to movies, theater, bars, walk around the small city center streets, etc. My friends used to say I'm a very calm, cool, and diplomatic guy, but I think I'm becoming more and more impulsive and emotional. I'm interested in discussing interesting ideas with intelligent people, but sometimes it's also great to be wasting time and doing nothing at all. I'd like to move abroad at the end of my PhD, but I don't know where to! :)

PHILOSOPHY

I simply try to have as much fun as possible, because if I don't do it when I'm still young, sure I'll regret it at my fifties...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have lots of experience with Hospitality Club (not a member anymore), which is pretty much the same. Although everyone I met was nice, it's obvious there were very special guests and some wonderful hosts who I won't forget...

Interests

I like my job, but I try not to take it too seriously, in order to have time to my hobbies and fun. I can't live without music, but I've been more and more addicted to theatre as well; I also love to read and going to the movies, mostly European or independent; I've also been increasingly more interested in other types of fine art, such as painting, drawing, etc. / Red wine, beer, going out with friends, and meeting wonderful CSers are also things I enjoy very much... :) There are many places in this world where I would like to live for some time, but I'm sure it won't be possible to fulfill all my dreams. I also love sports, especially football, tennis, and athletics.
