Overview
About Me
So here I go… I’ve studied physical education in the faculty of Human Kinetics (University of Lisbon) and also worked as teacher in the primary school teaching young children. At the same time I worked in a bouldering climbing centre as a climbing coach and helped route setting for the gym.
Since the pandemic started I decided along with my girlfriend to leave Portugal and start to explore other countries to work and get to know different people and their cultures. So far we’ve been around Europe, Australia, Asia and at the moment we are exploring South America 😎
I’ve always been a social guy since very young and that continued even through the years of university which I lived in students residence sharing the room with other friends and always trying to get to know more about people’s adventures, stories and cultures.
I love travelling to new places and see all the wonders that every place as to offer.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My interest in Couchsurfing started when I went to the university and met a friend which had so many amazing stories and adventures around the world and always with his Couchsurfing memories…
On my Erasmus in Valência I met two Turkish friends and one of them was hosting CouchSurfers and after having such good moments I had to start my own CS.
Interests
Everything about meeting people from other countries amuses me. Sports are also something that attracts me, even more if I can share some climbing moments (bouldering or lead). Music and movies make every moment even better and walks around the city, village or all the nature around. I’m also glad to try all types of culinary since I love food (and some drinks with it).

- I can’t say that I’m a book lover but I've enjoyed some Osho titles, The Papalagi (incredible view of modern European society through the eyes of a Samoan chief), The Peter principle, Siddhartha, The Alchemist, The art to be an extraordinary teacher, training for climbing
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
One incredible adventure of 1200km, more or less, between Valência(Spain) untill Lisbon(Portugal) in 2 days, by hitchiking, which I met amazing people on the way…
Even though it was fast and not so well planned, my god... it was such a great idea, so much adrenaline, happyness and some disconfort that didn’t make the experience bad or less enjoyable, only more special...
Teach, Learn, Share
I love to learn a bit about everything… I can share knowledge about my country and places I’ve been, climbing and also a lot of nice stories and adventures.
