About Me

I have been traveling the world for almost 5 years.
My trip began in South and Central America, I crossed to Japan and East Asia, Australia and New Zeland, India and around, Europe, I crossed all Africa from south to north by land I went back to Australia. And now I am again in Americas: South, Mexico and Canada.
It is a big passion travel and see as much as I can of this amazing world.
I travel for curiosity.
I need to go and see by my self how the country is, their culture, the food, how people work, talk with the locals and, if it's possible, stay with them to get to know the country better.....
When I travel I feel complete happy and balance.
I worked for 20 years in the biggest Portuguese bank in Portugal.
But I quit.
Now it's time to feel alive and see as much as I can.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

When I was living in Lisbon I used to welcome people in my home, friends and friends of my friends.
I know what it is and what it means.
I really love to stay with people in their own countries to know better the way of life, and share experiences.
And one day, when I decide to come back to Portugal it will be more than a pleasure received people in my house.
