At this moment of our lifes we are traveling by car with some regularity in Europe, please visit our Trip Page / Blog and you will discover a lot about me/us!

All about me? Really?
What a great question it is...
It's funny because I'm still trying to find a reason of life...

The best way to describe yourself is to ask other people about you, and they say that I'm 37 years old (only a chronological age...I feel about 12 usually), and my name is João.

I'm spontaneous, I don't say no very often, I'm not shy... most of the time, I'm a very emphatic person, I love meet and talk with friends, also I like to meet local people and go with the flow while.
I was born, on the Hot Summer in Portugal. I love open minded people who love the friendship!
I work hard, and you may not believe but... I work in Lisbon as undercover agent for the English Secret Services the famous MI6 but it's a secret, please don't tell anyone! This will be our secret, ok?

I was born in Lisbon and if you don’t know... Lisbon is the must luminosity city in Europe!

I'm married to this Cat Woman.

I love travelling even if I didn't had the possibility to do it a lot!
One of my big goals is to travel around the world by car and get an impression how beautiful and unique each place on Earth is, because we only live once and I realized that there other things to appreciate on this planet than my little piece of Portugal.

Finally, I love Switzerland!

But, you know, that's what they say...

Because CouchSurifng isn't just the free couch, I want to know more about you, therefore, I will ask you to sign My Guest Book, of course, if you want.

I want to thank you, for reading my profile and learning a little bit more, about me.

PHILOSOPHY

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves;The world is smaller then you think;If you think you can , then u can - if you think you cant then u cannot , either way you are right. Use brains for positive thinking, its the most powerful thing in the world.Smile to life and live your dreams
