I'm a friendly Portuguese person who loves meeting people from different nationalities and sharing his love for the city of Lisbon.

Currently for contractual reasons, I can't offer my house for people to stay in, but I'd be more than happy to meet up with anyone who's interested and to show them around the city, both the usual places and other amazing places not featured in every tour guide!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'd like to meet people from different countries and show them around the city I so much love. This is also a great way to find out about events I wouldn't otherwise easily be able to know of!

Interests

Music, lots of it; good movies, namely horror that's not campy or extremely gruesome; enjoying a nice afternoon in a garden reading, if the weather allows it; learning languages is a passion!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Participating in a five week volunteer project in Cabo Verde, which required six months of fund raising, team building and lots and lots of contacts! It was one of the best experiences in my life : ).

Teach, Learn, Share

Well, in terms of languages I can teach you some English and Portuguese if you're interested, but more than teaching I prefer sharing my experiences and personal views of the world with people I'm growing comfortable with, which is beste enjoyed with a round of beers :D.
