An adventurer, a man of the world. Living and working abroad since 2003 with international organizations in the field of Criminal Justice. Kind, well educated, always ready to help and with an excellent humour. A smile in the face is half way to welcome and to be welcomed.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Learning from others as a very successful experience. Meet people from all countries, races, beliefs and ethnicities. To show hospitality and to show the Portuguese way of living as an expat in another country.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: Mike Oldfield, Dimash Kuiderbergen, Pavarotti, Pink Floyd, Genesis and all Celtic and erudite music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Working in two of the most hazardous, dangerous and challenging countries in the world: Guinea Bissau and Somalia. Rehabilitating the respective criminal justice systems.
