About Me

I'm Portuguese and absolutely love to travel. I'm now living in Switzerland working as an Architect and in between jobs my objective is to travel as much as possible.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I already did Couchsurfing before, hosting people but without having a couchsurfing account, they asked me in Facebook if i knew some place where they could stay cheap in Graz, Austria, my Erasmus city and i said yes, my house, i had space so why not! It was one of the best random new experiences i got to enjoy abroad.

Since then i'm grounded in Switzerland and i'm planning to go at the beginning of 2018 to SE Asia and South America, perhaps with a touch in Antartica if possible. Therefore i'd love to share my experiences with new people, know the locals, their costumes their culture, perhaps travel with them!

Teach, Learn, Share
