Overview
About Me
Hey there!
People say that it's fun to be around me, however, when needed, I can be very generous and emphatic. Netherless I am a human being who enjoys meeting and learning from other human beings.
I've visited a couple European countries so far, I have loved it so far.
For about 6 years I've been working in the Digital Marketing field and for the last year, I've become a full-time freelancer working with different clients around Europe and helping them achieve sales and marketing goals with the help of online advertising. Otherwise, I am a kind, outgoing person, can adjust to different situations pretty easily, I'd say a pretty flexible human who loves to gain new experiences.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe this is a hell of a good place to meet locals. I have had really, I mean really great experiences meeting local people who have shown their generosity not just by sharing their home, but also spending the time to show around the town, best food, drink, party places. To me, it seems like Couchsurfing people has some greater meaning in them and it connects people. Well if someone is open-minded to show me around, I will be open-minded to show them around as well!
Interests
I am really into Digital Marketing, Social media and that kind of stuff. My last and the best skill I picked up was Surfing (Portugal). I do travel around with a backpack, so I am kind of a backpacker, who enjoys hiking and doesn't fear to live in a tent.
Local foods are the best, well food is itself is something great (thanks for that invention World <3).
I do enjoy getting into discussions about psychology, marketing, future of the world, travelling to Mars, becoming the best possible human, UFO's and much more...
Forgot the last thing - vine, I love vine & good beer!

Music, Movies, and Books
I do love classic rock from the 70s, 80s & 90s. My childhood favourite is Eminem. I do not shy away from Bob Marley or other "soul" tracks. At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what sound the box makes as long as we're having fun!
Movies, well I used to watch lots of them, but some of my favourites are Shawshank Redemption, I am a big fan of Marvel movies, Matrix trilogy (Love the idea), and other supernatural movies like Transformers, Pacific-rim, Godzilla, King Kong etc. When it comes to movies for the mind - Cast Away, Green Mile, Forest Gump and other in those lines.
Usually, don't read anything else than professional literature. As I am working in the marketing field, then books about marketing, human behaviour, personal development, investing .etc will be my first picks.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Learning how to surf, so far this has been of the best experiences I've had.
Teach, Learn, Share
I can teach/share my digital marketing, social media advertising, Google Analytics, Website creations, Email marketing, strategic thinking knowledge :)
I would love to learn the local language, but mostly phrases like Bom Dia (Good Morning in Portuguese), or learn how to cook some simple local meals. If you know some history about any interesting place that should be visited - I am all ears. If you have some hobbies, knowledge to share yourself, I am open minded to learn about anything and everything. You never know where it can get useful :)
