About Me

I'm a Portuguese fellow that found a hole new world when doing Erasmus in Italy.I began to get interested in knowing more about my surroundings and about people. It was the game changer for me and I grew up a lot.
When I find time between University lectures I try to travel, in Portugal or Europe since my budge is limited :p

I've done a lot of sports: tennis, basketball, football, sailing and more recently bodyboarding and self-defence operational training. I always loved nature since I've been a scout almost all my life (16 years!!)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Let's face it, we don't like to waste money on sleeping :) This, added to the possibility to know a bunch of different people and cultures, count me in

Interests

I love technology! Drones, 3D printing, SixSenth tecnology (Serious?! Amazing) see it with your own eyes (http://www.ted.com/talks/pranav_mistry_the_thrilling_potential_of_sixthsense_technology)

The simplicity in animals amuse me, and their goofinees too!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like the classic movies - The Godfather, Pulp Fiction, KillBill, Reservoir Dogs, Django (Quentin is the man!), One flew over the cucu's nest, Scent of Woman, American Beauty, Rocky... But on the other hand I could easily watch all the movies of Lord of The Rings and Hobbit in a row.

Currently I listen to a mix of diferent types of music. I just it to match with my spiritual state.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've hitchhiked from Croatia to Italy with a friend and in the middle of the trip, in Slovenia, we had to wait 3 long hours to get the next ride. In that period we were under snow and cold... very cold! When we got that ride my faith in humanity was restored!

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm learning to play the guitar and I already know a bit of ukulele. It would be very pleasant if anyone teached me how to pilot a boeing or helicopter.. But i would prefer a space ship, ok i'll stick to that!
