About Me

CURRENT MISSION

After 4 Months Trip/Meditation, I am ready to Do some GREAT WORK

ABOUT ME

Funny, like and use Intelligent humor, like to do radical adventure and is a party fellow.
I like as most to be alone as to be in a crowd.
I love High Altitudes and Pressure as well Beach,Sun and Relax. I like to travel, know people but not massive and intensive Site-Seeing.
In childhood I was a Great fan of Macgyver, and I still am doing with technology what MacGyver didn't with is Swiss knife. :) . I always pack one Swiss Knife for travel.
I have an amateur Chef degree in European Cuisine, and I like to taste, do and teach others the art. Porto wine is my beggning.
I play a lot with computers but I am not a Nerd :)
My Greatest Wish is to work with the Top Scientist at many different sciences. I am trying to make my mind pure again (12years bad cycle) to search for that objective in a year.
(Well is not been a year but 4 months since I left Portugal, 25th January 2012.....so CERN or NASA here I go, catch me if you can......DREAMING??? Maybe....)

PHILOSOPHY

If you first don't succeed don't let yourself go and TRY AGAIN.
Reach happiness the easiest way and with Simple Things

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I like to participate in as many manners as possible,I participate in and make theme events, like astronomy, Cuisine, Wine Taste, Karting and Radical Sports, Party's MTV Style (low budget).Basically I do and let others drive me into whatever it gives both pleasure.
I am a Dreamer........But for Sure I am NOT ALONE....and thank you to be on that side partner.

SPECIAL TIP : DON'T EVER CONFUSE PORTUGUESE TRANSPARENCY AND HONESTY WITH SCAM, SPECIAL MINE. I'M PERFECTIONIST AND THAT'S A GIFT NOT A FLAW.
So if things are going "too well" is just like the way it has to be, and don't bother to annoy me and ask for couch if you don't accept happiness and pureness just like the way it suppose to be.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I was a fresh newbie in Couch-Surfing by 25th January 2012 when I left Portugal in a car with a surprising non-predictable 1h36m of packing.
I was doing a lot of km across the Europe to PURE UP mind and body, so that I could work at my Dream Place in short term time possible.
I had luck to be invite to Couch-Surfing by a friend before I left Portugal. My Experiences since then, started at a few nice meetings at Zaragoza, where I meet great people and a strong CS community.
The trust was so good (both sides I guess, that they invite me at once for a thematic "family" dinner with rich Thematic food with a just 5€ fee).
I was trying to use Couch-Surfing as much as possible, but since I drive to places by feeling and by car, trying to avoid bad weather, I was calling almost everytime for last minute couch. Of course in this conditions the probability of "having luck" is reduce, but I guess the other variables helped me, because I drove from low altitude to High Altitude places, Alpes near the see, French and Spanish Rivieras, Maçonic to Golden Cities, Dali to Einstein Museums Cities and almost all with the Help of Couch-Surfing Community.
Of Course I reccomend CS to have cost reduced, but people if you insist to pass some place and you don't have Couch help, help your self with booking.com and hotelf1.com ......loloolo I don't have any comittion..
