About Me

Hey guys :D

I'm a software engineer working a little west of London in a small town called Newbury. I moved here on August 2015, before that I was hosting (like crazy) in Porto for something like half a year. Many great adventures I had xD and I met all sorts of people, from all over the world. That was amazing :)

Not much of a story to tell before that xD but I'm an easygoing guy, with a can-do attitude, a bit of an introvert, but a few drinks might just help with that. And I'm up for drinking :P

Be aware, I'm not much of a talker ahaha and no, this doesn't necessarily mean I'm a man of action, just means I don't talk a lot. On the positive side, I really enjoy discussing things and listenning to what people have to say.
I find silence, a lot of times, says more than any text ever could.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meet new people, my new found love of travelling, getting out of the confort-zone (I'm kinda shy), trying and be more social by metting the right people (CSers for the win!!!!)... there are a million reasons to couchsurf and instead of naming them I prefer practicing them, maybe on a mountain top, perhaps on a country side pub with the brew in hand, I don't deny the seaside on a sunset is bad either, or if you're my kind of people, mix 'em all together, a mountain top near the seaside with a pub on it... damn I have to find a place like that!

Interests

I like movies, relaxing, engineering projects, manga, anime, tv series, video games, and of course, partying with tons of friends and tons of booze :D

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Well let's shorten the list, I like rock, metal and nightcore mainly. I also like other stuff but not as much.

Movies: I like a lot of stuff, so let's sum it up, star wars, lord of the rings, marvel and dc movies (yes, I'm a nerd), comedies and horror movies in general.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Coming to work in the UK alone, although I had a lot of help, for wich I am very grateful. It was my first time on a plane, my first time living alone and a lot of stuff happened on a personal and professional level.

It's not much, but it makes me damn happy that I got here and had the balls/boldness/stupidity to do it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to learn how to play the violin, piano, guitar, to talk japanese and stuff about engineering, specially about software or computer engineering.

When it comes to teaching, well portuguese of course (duuh), computer related stuff, and I really don't know what else...

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm in a time in my very young life when adventure and new experiences are all I want. I'm up to some great partying, siteseeing, lazying around and whatever crazy s*@# the moment calls for ahaha
