Hey there! I'm a Portuguese filmmaker and I can consider myself a social, environmental and animal rights activist.

Besides to make movies I love to jump from project to project and to have experiences all over the world so in 2012 I made volunteering for 6 months in Palermo (Sicily, Italy); in 2013 for one month in Morocco and in 2015 I was in Malta doing a project as personal assistant care for 4 months.

I'm from a small (but great) town in the center of Portugal but I lived for 3 years in Lisbon, where I studied Cinema and worked in television.
Now I want to know all over the world and experience different cultures!

I'm vegan and I look the balance in me as nature!

We are all one, We are nature, We are all connected :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the best way to know a place and a new culture, is being connected with the locals. Not with tourist guides. And of course, it's a very nice solution to avoid spend money in Hotels and share this experience with someone!

I think it's urgent to create new solutions, where we no longer follow the laws of capital, but rather the logic of nature. Where trust and love are the basis for a new society and it appears in form of new communities. And Couchsurf it's a great example of it! Share and trust in a big global community acting local and connecting people :)

Interests

I love cinema of course, photography, music, i love to cook, meditation, drink wine and have a nice conversation... and party hard as well !

I prefer to see the sunset from a rooftop than take a selfie in front a monument. In another words, live like a local and avoid touristic places.

I'm interested in the world, searching new sustainable solutions for our existence on planet Earth, i'm fascinated about Permaculture design, i love to meet new people, new cultures, new places, in art, make art... in nature as one all!
