My friends will tell you more interesting stories about me before I do myself!

I'm from Lisbon, the best city in the whole world :D, easy going, optimistic, spontaneous, creative and adventurous person. I am a freelancer photographer, I travel a lot thanks to resourcefulness and being opportunistic. I take risks. I fail many times. I succeed sometimes, and its always worth it when I finally do.

Make your own money, Don't let money makes you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I host couchsurfers at my apartment in Oeiras, and I want couchsurf everywhere I go when I travel!

For me couchsurfing is about meeting new people and sharing in all the ways, so i prefer to host people who likes to socialize and i will be very glad to be your guide in lisbon and another places if it´s possible to me.

Interests

Music, movies, technology, photography, sports- football, tennis, and basketball, running, biking.
I love food and will try (almost) anything. I know where to find amazing food at home in Lisbon, and always searching for it when I travel too.

Music, Movies, and Books

I consider music the soundtrack to my life.
My Spotify here > https://open.spotify.com/user/manuelpdvicente

I love to watch movies and tv shows, I inclusive have a projector to watch them :)

I enjoy books, but they're too slow. Go out and LIVE.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I would like to say that the most amazing experience I had was when I climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.. but not :P

I've done a quite few things but can't decide which was the most amazing one. Have travel to 30 different countries, lived in 4 of those, I studied 1 year in Barcelona and another one in Salzburg. I did skydiving, I volunteer in Africa, travel Europe by train, and now I am traveling Southeast Asia for 6 months.

I love sharing stories about where I've been and what I've done, I could go on forever talking about everything exciting and funny over the years!

Teach, Learn, Share

Make the most of your life while you're here. See the world, do something special with your life to make a difference. Anything. You don't need to strive to be Martin Luther King Jr. or Steve Jobs. Do something to make a difference in your own life, then your family, your friends, loved ones, even strangers, anyone you can reach! Even if you can make the world a better place for just one person, it's worth the effort.

I live my life as if every second and every inch counts; for me, there's just no other way to live. The small details in life add up, and they make all the difference.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share with you my travel experience and also show you how to travel on a low budget. Traveling is not expansive at all after you met me:-)
We all should be able to get along in this small world. Don't be greedy and take advantage of people. Lets help each other. This world will be so much better off if we have real trustworthy friends everywhere we go. Imagine what this world will be if we built bridges instead of walls... and CS is one of the bridges to make this world better! Let's roll!!
