About Me

Portuguese at heart, citizen of the world. For as long as I can remember, I've let myself be guided by a sense of curiosity to shape my path. That's why I decided to leave my job last year and start a new journey studying Software Engineering while traveling the world.

I love to immersing myself in the new perspectives and realities that people and cultures bring. As Alberto Caeiro said, 'I am the size of what I see.' And, in my opinion, Couchsurfing and Hitchhiking are the best ways to do that :).

Finally, I'm heading back to Asia, and this time with my Girlfriend, Mafalda. She is going to experience Couchsurfing for the first time, and we are very excited about that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Best way to understand local culture, to meet new people and share experiences.

Interests

My way of life is deeply connected with the sea through surfing. I love adventure may it be by packing a few things and go with nothing planned but a location and just explore its surroundings.

I also enjoy chilling out with friends while drinking a nice cold Super Bock, meeting people and share new life worthy experiences.
