---- I accept only last minute requests!! ----

I am living in Palmela, between Lisbon and Setúbal.

Please note that Palmela IS NOT a suburb or A PART of Lisbon but a small town situated at 35 km.

Jacinto and I love to meet people, listen to music, ... We appreciate to share our travel and other experiences with others. As I like to cook, you can always share a meal with us !).

Dogs or cats are welcome if they are nice to our Laïka (a yorkipoo that we adopted after seeing her abandoned).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I live in Palmela, retired, have plenty of time and I like to meet people from all over the world. I find Couch Surfing the perfect way to share experience and learn from others. I propose a couch or a bed, walks and talks. Setúbal is not very far, and I can indicate you the nice places, so you will love it. In the surroundings, there is the beautiful castle of Palmela, the Arrábida, Sesimbra, and very beautiful beaches.
