About Me

At the moment I'm in he Netherlands and will be staying here until October. If I find way of hosting, I'll update this.
Take care :)

About me: Chill. Love sports and people. Curious by nature and need to think to keep my sanity. Conversations with dedicated and hard working people are one of my favourite ways of spending time. Others include learning about technology and to explore movement, nowadays mainly parkour, capoeira(just starting) and weightlifting.

What my CV says about me is:

Despite deeply interested in technology, wireless communications mainly, I grew to love
people. I like to have great conversations and get my point/arguments clearly and elo-
quently across, this together with my perfectionism led me to take specialized courses
on English Oral Presentations and fluency. Travelling made me spontaneous, honest and
a diversity embracer. While always eager to learn, I find that doing it with a team is more
dynamic and fun. I have been involved in various sports from a young age, competed
at national level and exercise daily. Thus I am disciplined and dedicated. Innately curi-
ous, hard-work addicted and self-motivated, I am incapable of not doing my best. I’ve a
focused work ethic while always facing life with enough humour and positivity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

While travelling: Sleeping inside sometimes has a warm feel to it. Remembering the good people of this world is something very humbling. I would say it is character building. Additionally, usually is very worth to meet new people.

While hosting: A way of travelling without doing so. Learn to give, learn to interact better.

Overall: A friend once told me it is a way of changing the world. You change not only yourself with new ideas, but share values and kindness with other people. That is multiplied and carried wherever they go next. Also, the more different the people are, the more they can learn with each other.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was born!

Can't remember anything else after that...
Oh, maybe the 2 weeks bike trip from the Netherlands to Portugal (2300km). Don't know if it counts, but it was amazing for me. Not much apart from that...

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, thoughts... Have some big reflections.

Maybe movement? At least, for sure, a couple of interesting stories.

Oh, some Portuguese lessons, expressions or just curse words.

And a contact for when you visit Portugal again ;)

PS: Please! Don't make me ask for a reference after I host you! I like feedback :)
