Hey,

I'm Portuguese but I live in Berlin, Germany. I'm a writer and a musician, quite into critical theory, anarchism, history, anthropology (but need to deepen this one) and philosophy; studied Translation and Proofreading, a field in which I've worked for 7 years, before moving to Berlin 8 years ago.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Unfortunately I haven't been able to stay at anyone's house through Couchsurfing yet, only meeting up, but I'm open to create the conditions for that to happen, by receiving hosts who, I hope, will kindly retribute the staying or the hangingouts in their homeland :) I'm hoping thus to have some good experiences and to make, preferably, like-minded friends out of this (check the below sections, please, to see if you can relate and so increase the chance of being hosted). The intention is to create a base of interconnections that will allow us to improve each other's mobility through the continent and, who knows, the planet.

I'm also willing to meet up and hangout here in Berlin with interesting ones. Hit me up especially if you can relate (take a look at the below sections) or if you think it would be interesting.

As for me, I like adventure in all its shapes. Join me and let's discover the hidden places, the abandon sites, the narrow streets, the high tops, squats and punk bars, wild nature and parks and all the less or non-touristic spots!
