CURRENT MISSION

living my life as if it was a movie with music made by the Penguin Cafe Orchestra.

ABOUT ME

I am a friendly and open-minded person.

As a host, I know pretty well the place where I live so I can give you many tips and advices; however I might not be your kind of host if you are looking for a party-partner (I am more of a conversational kind).

As a surfer, I am polite and quite independent; I like strolling around and getting lost on my own: when I travel I am searching to know new people, but also I am searching to know myself.

PHILOSOPHY

I think our emotions and thoughts are made to be used and explored; so I try to not be afraid of feelings but just experience them and let them be; may they be joy, sadness, attraction or fear.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Great so far. It made me both save money and not feel a foreigner in a foreign city!

Interests

I am very interested in the human being, so I studied journalism, because I thought it was a good way to explore society and have multiple points of view.

I am very interested as well in arts, specially cinema and animation; so I became 3D animator, which allows me to express my ideas and tell my stories.

And as none of these things provide me much money, I have quite a lot of experience as a waiter, which allows me to earn enough money so that I can make short movies in my free time, and travel of course!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the aurora borealis in Kiruna (Sweden). Unforgettable.

Doing some filmmaking in a suburb in Tanger (Morocco), where I saw people with nothing in their life but their smile... I wish I could learn from them.

Hitchiking in the south of Portugal. So much fun.

Switzerland's CERN!
