I'm a Portuguese guy, born in Venezuela (hence the English name), but parents are from Madeira Island and I grew up in Lisbon, before moving to the UK (Southport and Manchester) for 11 years and Kuwait for 4 years.

I’m back in the UK at the moment with the goal to find a job and a permanent home in Manchester, but whilst I’m interviewing for roles I might send you a Couchsurfing request 🤭☺️

I’m looking mainly for friends, hangouts and experiences. Perhaps a mini-adventure? Try me! By experiences, I mean something that I haven’t done much of, need more of, or would like to explore more of. Things like playing tennis, camping/ outdoor activities, meditation and Buddhism, business/ entrepreneurship, day trading (crypto, stocks and shares), etc.

I’m also a gay open-minded individual, and tend to get on with the same although I’m also happy to open discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Meet new people, hangout, friends, and hopefully the ability to host soon.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Couchsurfed in the USA and had an amazing experience! I want to be part of that experience for someone else too!

Interests

I like reading self-development books, not self-help. The difference is in the attitude. Development means growth, expansion of thoughts and new ideas.

I love hiking, wild camping, cycling, and outdoors.
Also really like the sun, sea, beach, volleyball, amogst many others...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’ve never lived in a country for more than 11 years straight. Lol.

Teach, Learn, Share

We all have something unique about us, but rarely use a mirror to see it.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Depends where our mutual interests are but I’m known for my ability to relate to people and connect. My star sign is cancer so you know the deal. ☺️
