I was born in a coastal town near the atlantic ocean in the central part of Portugal called Vieira de Leiria. Throughout my live I've lived in Coimbra, Lisbon and Porto (the city that I consider my "base" for the moment) and recently I've moved to Brussels to join an undergoing health project at the European Commission.

So, I'm a proudly Portuguese... and, as most Portuguese, I love food and to live for food (and travel, of course).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Travelling alone is better than no travel at all.
