ABOUT ME

I dont like those descriptions of oneself very much, because they normally dont come near the reality!
I am an architect and travel addict who loves to learn with others cultures.
If I could I would like to spent my entire life traveling, it is the best way to grow up as a person looking at the reality and not be stuck with just the place that we know when we born.
I like adventure and I try to never be too long in one place. Love music, movies, architecture, photography and of course: Life.

PHILOSOPHY

Remember those posters that said, "Today is the first day of the rest of your life?" Well, that's true of every day except one: the day you die. So enjoy you´r life like it is your last day

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I remember my first experience: I was very excited and a bit nervous: call to a person that I did not know personally, ring the bell and see a big smile of someone that will share a little bit of her life during some days with you....now this is a very familiar situation and all the places I already stay I always fell at home and some of them right now become great friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

When you began you think it´s all about to save your money...but when you do for the first time you realize is more than that: is about share experiences with someone with a different culture than you, is make new friendship, meet the place where you stay in another prescriptive, is OPEN YOUR MIND! It´s something really great and special, I do a couple of times and hope to have opportunity to do more and more.

Interests

Some of my interests: Travel, travel, travel, dreaming, watch the sunrise in Praça do Comércio in Lisbon, see the snow falling down through my window in Dresden, walk between the narrows street of my home-town in Coimbra, lost myself by bicycle in Amsterdam, watch the Japan´s landscape in a Shinkansen, listening Eddie Vedder and pretending being Christopher McCandless, feeling the bass in Berlin's insane techno nightclubs, waking up early to see the sunrise in Bagan, sleep, riding a motorbike 90km/h in the crazy roads of Vietnam, watch the sunset in the Vaticano after walking between all Rome, read, coffee, lost in translation, be suprisse by the architecture of Gaudi in Barcelona, dream again, eat popcorn´s, write, listening Yeah Yeah Yheas, scream, close my eyes after a exhaustive day and dreaming again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I love to cook. I like to teach and learn since I´am a very curious person. My specialty is a veggie lasagne or the "bringer recheada" (I can show you).

I can try to teach you portuguese, french or german :P

I can teach you how to evict a bad flatmate, but without having problems with him (trust me I deal with it ahaaha) and how
