A clew of distractions and bad jokes.

I daydream a lot, which makes me a bit of a quiet person. But I can be very noisy if I'm with the right people.

I have lots of different interests and sometimes I have trouble dividing myself through all the things I love doing. It's hard to find one thing that defines me! I usually spend my time drawing, playing an instrument, or simply working for school.

I tend to plan a lot and do little, but I would like to change that!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because it combines adventure, creating bounds with people from different countries, and finding somewhere comfy to sleep! Besides, it must be great to be able to explore a certain place with local people.

Music, Movies, and Books

My all-time favourite movies:
Cinema Paradiso by Giuseppe Tornatore
Magnolia by Paul Thomas Anderson
Léon: The Professional by Luc Besson
Perfect Blue by Satoshi Kon

I like lots of different things when it comes to music, from the most conventional indie bands to beautiful soundtracks in movies, or even heavy music. I also love jazz and bossanova. These are some of my favorite bands/musicians: Chico Buarque, Manel Cruz, Radiohead, Mogwai, Chet Baker, Air, Coldplay (the early albums), Morphine, PJ Harvey, Blur, Gorillaz, The Flaming Lips, Tyler The Creator, Joy Division, Massive Attack, James Blake...the list goes on.

I don't read as often as I would like to! Still, I like Bukowski, Paul Auster and Portuguese poetry.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've directed an animation shortfilm. It was nominated for a few Portuguese animation and cinema festivals and I was able to watch it on big cinema screens.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you a little bit of Portuguese and give you drawing tips. I'm more than willing to share my favourite music and films with you! And I'll certainly show you what other things come from Portugal besides Ronaldo... ;)
