About Me

46 years old(?) guy born in Portugal and living in France.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I decided to visit Japan with my wife, and thought it will be a nice way to meet people there.
There we have been welcomed by three couch surfers, the experience was great!
Now it's time to welcome people coming to the place we live :)

I really enjoy meeting people from abroad, and cs is a really nice way to do that. Having the chance to spend time with foreigners is the best way to enjoy the time spent in any places.

Interests

I play bass guitar in a band (more a way to learn to play indeed), a little of piano, love to watch movies, interested in economics and technology stuff.
Also found of social dancing, and modern jazz dancer.
Enjoy listening to live music or watching to live performances.
I practice paragliding and love flying in many ways.
Love to do sailing too, but really missing the time for that...
I like places where people feel themselves free.
I started to grow an interest about spirituality, what being an human being is, and find lot of answers with mediation and tantra. I practice Reiki and some massages techniques. Always glad to share about that :)

Music, Movies, and Books

I listen to all kind of music, my current playlist includes albums from bloc party, Radiohead, Foster The People, Lilly Wood & The Prick, The Beatles, Kendrick Lamar...
I am really found of movies. Love movies that brings you something, or that are really entertaining.
Last good movies are the ones from Tarantino. "Sicario" was a really good surprise, las Kung Fu Panda was really entertaining.
Love the movies from Lynch, Iñárritu, and others not currently in my mind :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Once they are done, amazing things are not amazing any more :)

Well, went by my own to London while I was a student, tried to learn something from life, and spent there some months living my best life experience so far!

Teach, Learn, Share

I am involved in the makers movement in my own town. I help people making flying things.
I try to give people some interest and understanding about technology.
I am keen on social dancing like Salsa, Lindy Hop and so, and will be glad to give you some tips on that, or take you dancing in some nice places!
