A Portuguese guy who travels maybe too much... :-) Business and leisure. Love to meet new people, not only travellers. Always open to a meeting face-to-face, especially with open-minded people. A party animal, as well... Diversity and the exchange of different points of view and cultural nuances are my favourite things, maybe I am a frustrated Anthropologist. Still, I wrote some books on the topic, published both in Portugal and Estonia, where I live almost 50% of my time (3 kids living here). I also like to host people in Lisbon while there.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling and meeting new people is my thing... and lots of friends convinced me to be here. It took some time but I hope I will not be disappointed. For sure I won't.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Crossing the Guadiana River from Sanlúcar de Guadiana (Spain) to Alcoutim (Portugal, where I lived for 2 years). Well, I did it at 03:00 AM on a really warm August night, with 3 bottles of rose wine and nobody saw it, but I survived... :-) Yes, I am here.
