About Me

I've been registered here for ages but never actually used it... 😅 the time has come!

I'm a Marine Biologist and Photographer based in Lisbon.
I've worked with sharks and giant land snails (yes, I do have photos) and I've lived in Spain, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Australia. Throughout the years I developed this urge to go out and explore, thus coming to the couchsurfing community as a way to do so with people that share the same feeling.

I consider myself a very happy and easy going person. So, don't worry, I won't be annoying you or invading your personal space too often if you welcome me at your place.

While I can enjoy the city life, I really like to go out into the nature whether it is on the coast, the countryside or on the mountains, to go hiking, cycling, surf, or even just to enjoy the view with a friend. So please, if you know some cool spots, do show them! I'll do the same! :D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to travel more just because travelling and meeting new people is what makes life more interesting. I want to connect with people and get infected with their good energy. Plus, it's easier to know new places with the local knowledge of someone who lives there.
