About Me

I have a master in Architecture and I'm currently working in a firm, but I'm also a freelance graphic designer. I also had a recent experience as an art assistant in a movie. Awesome!

I currently live in Coimbra (my hometown) in a community housing with students.

I love a good talk, at dinner or with a beer or wine in the table. I also know how to cook, in case you need a hand. ;)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm doing a trip around Europe this Summer (too much work recently), visiting Bulgaria, Romanie and Greece, and exploring some places I always wanted to visit in between. In the mood to discover everything through the eyes of who lives there.

Music, Movies, and Books

From traditional music to the newest big thing, I enjoy a little bit of everything.
I love books, but been having no time to read them...
I'm currently starting a book by the brasilian singer Chico Buarque: "O Irmão Alemão" (The German Brother)

And movies, I love film classics from "12 Angry Men" to "Big Lebowsky", passing through Godard's "Pierrot Le Fou", Fellini's "8 1/2", Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", etc etc etc.

Last TV Series: "Man in the High Castle"
