__________________________________

I am 25 years old, a Tennis Coach and Strength and Conditioning Coach, and I'm currently envolved in a Erasmus+ volunteering project in the beautiful island of Ikaria.
I had tremendous experiences while going for 2,5 months backpacking, hitchhiking and CouchSurfing around Central Europe, Balkans, and a life-changing trip to Turkey and India for 3 weeks.
I would also like to share with you, if you are interested, about Tamera, a Peace Research and Education Center in Portugal, who are building self-sufficient and decentralized "Healing Biotopes".

I love to meet new people, new places, new cultures and like to share experiences and perspectives on life regarding different topics. I feel it is crucial to comprehend people better and build up a more conscientious and comprehensive mindset.

I believe everyone is special in their own way, and so I try to see the real person behind all the actions and position that person holds.

I want to leave a legacy for my friends and family and being known as a person who was available to help the person close to me, and who fought for my own interests, missions and dreams in life.

I like to listen to music (especially Jazz, Blues, Soul, Country, Fado and Funk), to read and to write (I have my own "Poetry on the Road" blog, and I've published on 3 books already - 4 more on the next 2 months), to play sports, and to hang out with people.

I enjoy going to the cinema occasionally, go for a play or a comedy show, to the opera house or to a music festival.

I enjoy having a good time appreciating Art and learning about History (even if I am not the most knowledgable guy on these topics).

I love being in the Nature, away from society, and go for some hiking, climbing, trekking or cycling!!!

I feel excited to try new adventures and different type of food! And even more excited to get to know you!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I am looking for people who want to share experiences, stories, a couple of drinks and start a friendship. There are so many great people around the world, so why not getting to know them?

I believe this allow us to grow up and learn with the people who we interact with, and build up connections that will last for a lifetime and that can change our lives in a bunch of positive ways!
