Hello Portugal! I'm Pierre, from the UK, Ive only used couch surfing a couple of times but it’s such a wonderful way to explore.i'm excited to give this a shot this time here in beautiful central Portugal and hopefully make some memories with the people I meet along the way! I arrived to Portugal back in February
to attend a Workaway experience before that I was travelling and making music in America I spent the latter part of 2019 exploring the stunning coastlines and meeting like-minded artists. Now, I am heading out to busk and see some of the landmarks here and continue gathering inspiration as a songwriter.

I try to be a creative, intuitive and articulate person. Over the last four years living in Bristol I have created music in many ways including scores for theatre companies and performing live original music. I've also
begun a journey exploring meditation and breathing exercises inspired by the Wim Hof method.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

After some conversations with other users, I'm aware that there's a large grey area within CS whereby many travellers are confusing the network as mere free accommodation; I like to think I am a warm guest; happy to share time and stories. Experiencing new places, hopefully with company and the goodness of a more local lens!
