About Me

Hello I'm pedro I'm 24 and I come from Portugal! I've lived in England for a while ( 3 years) in the south of the country more specifically in Southampton and now I'm currently living in Prague Czech Republic. Food is my life, no really I'm not talking just about eating I am a chef so cooking is what I do best. I've worked in several places but recently I was working in Cambium a 3AA rosee and Michelin star place in Brockenhurst and right now I'm a chef at the four seasons hotel Prague (Cottocrudo) .Being a chef is not easy as you can imagine so every time I can take a break I make sure I enjoy the most of it while I can 😁 I'm a very adventurous and easy going person, I love to explore new places and if possible live there and get to know the people and their culture, I believe by doing this we learn a lot about not only the people we meet along the way but about ourselves and who we really are in this world and this is the true knowledge everyone should seek.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Couchsurfing is an amazing way of getting to know new people, make friends and gives us a great inside on daily life when you visit a new place. Plus chances are you'll get to know locals and they will show you very good places you wouldn't know of if you were traveling alone . I've been using it for a while and although I haven't stayed with anyone yet, when I was traveling solo around Europe I went to some events and met with some people from this community and they were all great which made my experience a lot more enjoyable .

Music, Movies, and Books

As far as music goes there's only two types for me
The good and the bad so as long as it sounds good to me I will like it. Obviously I have some genres I usually like the most and as you can see by my hair metal is one of them but I consider myself very eclectic and always open to new stuff.

I'm a TV show and movie addict so it's probably the best of I don't post all I like in here haha, but I absolutely love Vikings and Game of thrones, and more recently Narcos from Netflix.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went to Belgium for 3 days with the purpose of trying beer. I've tried more than 40 and I'm proud of that weekend 😂🙌

What I Can Share with Hosts

My cooking skills and some really cool stories from my travels.
If you're planning on living abroad I think I have some good advice I can give you as I myself moved alone to England when I was just 18 and everything went really well.
