About Me

I lived all my life in Algarve (South of Portugal) and always wondered: "What is like to be anywere else?"
Growing up I practice different sports, from basketball to canoeing, cliff diving, skimboard and bodyboard etc. Also become interested in various fields like, mathemathics, physics, philosophy and poetry.
I met alot of people that shaped my way of thinking about traveling and what you can get from learing from other people's experiences.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One of the best things about traveling is the people that you get to know during the journey. Couchsurfing for me is the chance to know people from different cultures and ideas. It is also the oportunity to get a better insight (from locals) in the places that I am visiting.

Teach, Learn, Share

I consider myself a courious person. The main reason I'm doing this is to absorve and learn as much as possible from other people.

I can't promess to teach you anything whatsoever. If somehow our lives cross togheter I want to share my experiences and learn from yours. Lets hope, in that process we both learn something.
