I love to meet new things, places and people, even though I'm pretty shy at first impressions. I can be very energetic and enthusiastic sometimes but also patient and calm. I was born in the south of Portugal, and now I'm living and studying in Lisbon for some years. I don't have a fixed job right now, just doing little things here and there. Currently I study Music Production but I have a degree in Biology. I live in a 2 room apartment in the center of Lisbon with my sister and Taro, the cat (he's very friendly).
Interested in Animals
Interested in Dining out
Fluent in English
Learning Italian
Why I'm on Couchsurfing
I want to know more about new cultures, and the more different from mine, the better. I really enjoy talking to foreigners cause it's just a really good way to learn something in a fun and fast manner. And I really like to share ideas, points of view, discuss them and be influenced by them.
Music, Movies, and Books
Almost all types of music. From classical to contemporary, movie/game soundtracks, ambient, metalcore, ethnic music, electronical (dubstep, drum & bass, chiptune, trap...), etc. Bands - Enter Shikari is my favourite for sure. Then I like artists/composers like: Max Richter, Savant, Bonobo, Hans Zimmer... Really enjoy movies too, like; Memento, Her, Inside Out, Shutter Island, Interstellar, Seven, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Howl's Moving Castle... My favourite book until now is The Picture Of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wylde. I love Adventure Time and Rick and Morty animation series.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach portuguese and the basics of piano and music theory. And if you wan't go all out nerd, I can find the time to teach something about music production, sound fundamentals, basic DAW usage (Pro Tools, Albeton, Cubase). Next level nerd: I can teach you and show you how to make music with a Game Boy, like I do. If you can teach me something back, anything would be great. And if it's about music and/or culture even better :)
My Interests
I LOVE music, movies, food, sports and traveling. I play piano, compose and produce music and train artistic gymnastics. I'm also a big fan of personal development and trying new things.
