CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I hate descriptions, they're always too short.
Come and meet me, then you'll see! :)
I live with 3 friends and we all study engineering, in Instituto Superior Técnico. Some of us are practically finished, others are freshmen.
We enjoy living together for almost a year now, and the mood at home is always good! :)

PHILOSOPHY

If people were supposed to jump out of bed, we would all sleep in toasters!

Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

None... YET! :D

Interests

Music moves me. Every moment in my life has a soundtrack, usually connected to places and people.
I love knowledge and self growth. Meeting new people, getting involved in activities and projects, help creating things, specially events.
I guess I'm interested in Civil Engineering, Building Rehab mostly. But I lack the enthusiasm sometimes, because my course ir nearly finished but the hardest part is finishing it!

Teach, Learn, Share

I could teach you:
- a bit of Portuguese language, culture and history;
- how to repair house construction defects and related subjects;
- procrastination and the art of messing up a bedroom in three easy steps.

I would looooooove to learn:
- football skills and tricks, cause I play at the uni's team, but let's say I still have a long way to go... :D
- foreign cultures and languages;
- basically anything you have to offer me!
