I love dancing.
I love photography.
I love read poems at sunset.
I love moments in rain.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to meet the world but essentially meet the people who make the world more rounded.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

• Cross all southern coast of Portugal in a bike - Lisbon - Costa Vicentina - Sagres - Faro;
• Cross the southern coast of Croatia in a squad - Zadar to Dubrovnik;
• Sleeping 3 days at the Bosnian mountains without tent only with "Steppenwolf" Herman Hesse's book - Velež.
• During a winter storm on a mountain, I stayed at the top taking pictures of a wind turbine for half an hour. The storm passed by me and everything around has disappeared, including me. The fog swallows everything. It was one of the most ethereal sensations ever. - Lamego.
