About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Spiritual Evolution!

ABOUT ME

I use to work here and there as a consultant. I took a degree in Informatics and Ana is still finishing hers in Economics.
We love to travel and meet new people with different cultures, perspectives and lifestyles from ours.
Traveling proves that time is relative and that in only some weeks we can learn more than in months of daily routine.
We consider our selves as spiritual people searching for an higher meaning to life than just living, working and letting time pass by. We look for simple but deep experiences and people that can contribute to enrich our lives and vice-versa.
We consider ourselves to be a simple and easy going couple.
And modest too! :)
After traveling for a while, we realize that it's not about places by it self, but people are what really maters and makes us grow, putting us through good things and challenges as well.
After many really nice spots, the next one will be just another one more... but a new person crossing our way will always be a new and hopefully enthusiastic experience!

PHILOSOPHY

Love each other as we would like to be loved. Life is too short to drink bad wine. My father doesn't like to waste bad wine, that's why i invented this saying... :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

We get hosted while traveling and we host back home whenever we can. It has all been great experiences and we definitively by now have many stories to tell..

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

We have hosted some people so far and we have been hosted for many times already.
So far we were blessed with all great experiences! Friends we've made through CS.. Stories and memories that will stay for life.
We believe it's a great concept :)
Best way to travel, not because it's cheap but because it can be positively intense, as we like it.

Interests

Relationships. Friends. Definitely music! Listening and playing. Travelling whenever there's money and time combined together. Enjoying a beautiful landscape. Volunteering work. Reading, etc...

Music, Movies, and Books

Movies:
Crocodile Dundee :)
American Beauty
The Green Mile
The passion of Christ (by Mel Gibson)

Music:
Evey music that is good music with a good message regarding either in the instrumental point of view but also in the lyrics point of view. from the traditional, going through classic, fado, rock, metal... Don't like music with a futile message in the lyrics.

Books:
The holy and eternal manual of life..!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Lived! Just the fact of being alive by it self is already a big miracle don't you think? We are thankful for having this privilege every day, some more than others obviously..

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a bit of didgeridoo and bagpipe.
Ana can teach a bit of English and Portuguese.
Surely we have a lot to share and learn from whoever crosses our way.

Countries I’ve Visited

Australia, China, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Latvia, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Russian Federation, Spain, Sweden
