CURRENT MISSION

reading, thinking, writing, skiing, working (a bit), laughing (a lot) and... working on my thesis!

ABOUT ME

I'm a very curious person, I want to understand better the world and the human nature, that's the reason why I love traveling around the world, taking the time to discover people. Human relations are much more important for me than seeing monuments or landscapes.
I was engineer for the oil industry in Angola but I realized I wasn't meant for that kind of job so I went back to university to study development before trying to find a new activity in the international cooperation and trying to make the world a little bit a better place...

PHILOSOPHY

Always letting the door open to any opportunity, never being sure of what tomorrow will be made of, getting lost...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Worked 2 years on an oil rig in Angola: 28 days on working everyday 12 hours a day and then 28 days off with my company paying a ticket to go anywhere in the world: pretty nice experience!
