Hey hey guys!
I'm Rui from Porto. You're wondering who that beautiful fella in the pictures is xD

Well, I'm just a guy going around, meeting people and sharing experiences.
I can speak several languages, am very opinionated and absolutely would buy you a couple of pints in case you decide to host me :D

I'm looking to meet a ton of interesting people in my travels, with stories to share and good discussions.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting interesting people and learning a new word in every language.

And obviously the financial reason. Since I'm a student leaving on a budget. I'm also a believer that you have to give in the same extent that you get, so once I have a place of my own, closer to the city, everyone will be welcome.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Ufff... Well, for one I did Erasmus in Gent, Belgium for a semester. After that I joined ESN Porto (where I still volunteer to this day).

I've slept in the street with 0°C temperatures (and it wasn't the worst night of my life, go figure).

I've started the Camino de Santiago on a whim. Obviously didn't finish has the gigantic blisters on my feet were getting infected. Guess starting big walks on a whim was not really a good idea. However road trips are cool... Already did one in Germany and other in the south of Portugal like that and it was wonders.

I'm hoping that this trip in the summer will be the most amazing one, though
