About Me

CURRENT MISSION

never stop learning

ABOUT ME

Painting is what i like to do best. But I make lots of different things. I write for magazines and I produce some tv travel documentaries.
I've been travelling for the last twenty years,at least one or two months a year.
Usually I travel by land (by car or motorbike),covering different countries and thousands of km in each trip.
I prefer going to places less packed with tourists,and I enjoy hanging out with the locals.

PHILOSOPHY

Always look at the bright side of life!
the sentence goes along and it's to be sang out loud with the music by Monthy Phyton's "The Life of Bryan")

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I want you to feel very welcomed in my place and in my country.
I love Portugal,and I really enjoy showing it around.It makes me look at it with different eyes.And I hope to make you feel at home!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

All of them were rewarding experiences. It is great to feel welcomed and to get all the tips only locals can give you.
As a host, i love to have new friends in the house.
I think the biggest pleasure is to give. Better than to receive.

Interests

I enjoy learning about cultures very different from mine. Asia, Middle East, Africa make my days!
One of the things I miss the most is to smoke a water pipe and mint tea in an old medina or a cafe on the street.
