About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Moving to Denmark!

ABOUT ME

I'm an outgoing person who likes to be open minded and meeting new people and cultures. I really enjoy spending an evening with some friends talking and laughing. On the weekends I usually go out, to party or to the cinema. I have really cool friends who are also interested in meeting people and could hang out with a possible couch surfer.

PHILOSOPHY

Trying not to over think and living the life to the fullest. Don't hide yourself under prejudice.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

At the moment I don't have my own apartment, so I can only show the city around and introducing to some other people who really have a couch.
As soon as I can I will start hosting!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've been sleeping in couches trough Europe for quite a while, although not always related to couchsurfing. Also, I've been to a few parties and meet some surfers there ;)

Interests

I'm always interested in having conversations about new discoveries in science, politics and lgbt and women rights. I try to keep updated about the world situation in these topics.

Besides I watch a lot of movies, and go to music festivals in the summer.

Music, Movies, and Books

Since I'm majoring in science I like to read books related to scientific discoveries, but not also. I enjoy some poetry from portuguese poets such as Mário de Sá-Carneiro, Fernando Pessoa, Alexandre O'neill... And novel writers, as Oscar Wilde, Virginia Wolf, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Stieg Larsson, Mark Twain, J.K.Rowling...

I love concerts and I listen to a lot of music, mostly indie and alternative: Joy Division, Florence and the Machine, Sonic Youth, Cat Power, Patrick Wolf, Arcade Fire, Portishead, Beirut...

Some of my favorite films include: Milk, Pulp Fiction, Clockwork Orange, Le Fabuleux Destin d'Amelie Poulain, Juno, Fight Club, American Beauty...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I organized a film festival in my hometown when I was 16.

Spending 2 months volunteering in Vietnam. And being able to scream to the world from the top of one of the Halong Bay's floating islands.

Scuba diving in Brazil!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach how to juggle or how to make pizza! And maybe teach some portuguese (It's kinda hard to learn).

Countries I’ve Visited

Andorra, Brazil, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States, Viet Nam

Countries I’ve Lived In

Portugal, Switzerland
