Travelling and meeting interesting people is one of my greatest passions. I´m a down to earth doctor but an adventurer, dreamer and artist in my heart.

I studied music all my life, in my late teens started dancing and travelling and, therefore, I can´t life a boring “home-work-home” life.
I share my time between the hospital, the orchestra, the dance school and hours of internet dreaming about new places to visit.

Foreign languages and traditions, alternative lifestyles, travel adventures, artistic projects or your inner thoughts and feelings, I´m a very open minded person and love to listen and share stories.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Sometimes the funniest way to know a place is through a local. I´m interested in meeting nice people to show me their city and culture.

I´m also a proud portuguese and love to share the Portuguese language and history.
