Origin story
I was born and raised in a small town in the north of Portugal, moved to Porto for uni, then worked a short time in Lisbon, before I got an internship at the European Parliament while finishing my masters. I moved back to Porto for a while after, but the economical crisis led me to be part of the Portuguese diaspora once again. I live in London now, not sure for how long.

I'm a political junkie and activist.I have a night job where I work on a week on/week off basis, which mean I have loads of free time to campaign for causes I believe in like environmental issues, immigration reform and civil rights.
I also like to travel around when I have time and money.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Not currently hosting anyone since I moved to a tiny apartment in London, but I used to do it a lot when I lived in Porto and I still host when I'm there on holidays.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I hosted a lot of people visiting Porto before I did a cross country trip in the US and stayed with Couchsurfing members in Denver and San Francisco.
