About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Get inspired by others!

ABOUT ME

I am the typical young guy trying to squeeze the most out of life. I am also an Aerospace engineer and recently I've started a entrepreneurial project with 3 others like me. I try to get inspiration for work and life from all the people that I know with smth special to share. When I travel, I try to merge myself into the place where I am and experience its culture and traditions (specially gastronomy) and interacting with the local people. I try to avoid the pointless sight-seeing kind of tourism because, well, it's too boring and dumb.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I host a few travellers at my place occasionally. Normally, if we have the time, we organize an apartment dinner alltogether where we talk about all and all with drinks in Bairro Alto in the end of the night.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I never couchsurfed myself but I will try this time this roadtrip in Italy, France, Spain and back to Portugal.

Interests

I love to work. If I am not working I am like a junky in a hangover. Currently, me life is split between to main projects: one in engineering and the other in location-based storytelling (host me or come have a beer with me and I'll explain u what that is). Besides, I love mountain biking, photography, cinema and design.
