Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Although it is a difficult question let's say I'm trying to find what I like, what I like to do, and who I wanna be in the future. I completely believe that the only way to find it out is travelling (physically or with book's help), moving from one place to another, meeting new people, new and different life styles and cultures.
You can't (I can't) take such an important decision without exploring, without been challenged.
ABOUT ME
I'm a curious person, and I think I'm open minded too (these two adjetives should come always together). I wish I could live travelling (I mean slow, really slow, I'm not into that way of travel that is just about visiting the most countries in the least time posible) at least some years but I have to find how to do it (which goes directly to the first question).
I'm also very smiling and I like to make plans for the next three years, but I'm not able to plan what to do tomorrow.
Not a schedule person, I guess it's more about following the flow.
Couchsurfing points:
1 I'm always up for a good conversation
2 I like to cook, and I do it reasonably well aaand I would be happy to cook for you either my dear guest or host.
PHILOSOPHY
Life is unpredictable, live with it, take advantage of it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Moving to Porto in September. Hope I can share with you my next little apartment!
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not much, for now. Never host, but I've been guest and I've meet some wonderful people thanks to it.
Interests
I believe I set I like traveling so let's move on.
I love art, specially painting, photography and literature. I wish I could say I'm good at any of them, but a lot of improving is necessary yet. Anyway, I like to try. Hope in next profile update I make I can say I'm able to draw a nice portrait of you :)
One amazing thing I discover this year: swing dance. I started to dance indy hop in September and I encourage you to try it! It is the most fun dance ever!
