CURRENT MISSION

Deliever a new record, read, travel through Europe by car

ABOUT ME

I'm a portuguese musician who's been travelling around and playing with a guitar. My trips are inspired by Che Guevara's "quest" or Kerouac's. In one word: freedom.

Also by people like Chomsky, Zinn, Ghandi, Afonso, Paredes or Sousa Mendes.

I like landscapes, mountains, history and rivers. I love the ocean.

PHILOSOPHY

I'm not sure about that. I'm hyperactive and I keep changing my plans everyday.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm just a member, so far. I like to host people and to be a guest.

If you decide to visit Lisbon, I can be a guide or I can provide some of the best spots for you to see what's really nice. I'm not always available but I'll try my best.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Never used the website to ask for a couch. Usually I'm lucky enough to know friends where I want to go. Or friends of friends. I meet people in other networks and, because I'm a musician, I do some sort of "play for pay". It's been wonderful.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I played in a Brazilian Festival, recorded 5 albuns, started a music label, met my girlfriend, swam the mediterranian and the atlantic, traveled alone through europe, made friends "everywhere". I'm also a friend of cats. I've made some really happy.

Teach, Learn, Share

Mostly I can be a guide for the historic city of Lisbon but I enjoy a lot Sintra and its surroundings. I could be a guitar teacher too, if you want, for a couple of days.

I've been learning chess too. I like a good match. Losing is as easy for me as riding a motorbike naked during winter. :P
