I'm Miguel, 29 year-old guy based in Lisbon. I am very keen on people, on reading, writing, thinking, talking and observing. I have studied in the UK and have returned to Portugal to face 21st century austerity.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have been on Couchsurfing a few years ago but as my housing conditions changed so did my dedication to my profile so I ended up forgetting Couchsurfing. Now that I am travelling once again I have recreated an account and am looking for places to stay and people to meet - a hunt which I intend on passing forward as soon as I come back home.

Interests

I am interested in different (and more inclusive) forms of governance and politics, real freedom of speech and anti-prejudice discourse and activism. I am also interested in reading and writing, in meaningful films, music and culture as a whole.

Music, Movies, and Books

I am currently relistening Tim Hecker's album "Ravedeath 1972", reading Henry David Thoreau's "Where I lived and what I lived for" and the latest film I've watched at the cinema was Mia Love-Hansen's "L'avenir". With the amount of interesting stuff around it's hard to name a favorite.
