About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning the fine art of surviving another day and having fun in the process!

ABOUT ME

Where-oh-where to begin?
I'm in dire need of contact with different people, different views, different cultures.
I've experienced a year abroad under the Erasmus program (2007/2008 in Seville, Spain) and meeting so many people with fresh views and interests is definitely something I miss dearly.
Seeing as for now I have no opportunity of going abroad and visit or live in other countries (damn you, world economical crisis!), this strikes me as being the best option right now: try to show people how beautiful and fun Lisbon is, and contribute as much as I can for couchsurfers to feel welcome and have a good time in my city.
So, I guess that's it. But feel free to ask more if you want to :)
