CURRENT MISSION

"I was 26 years old and looking for a place in the world."

ABOUT ME

Human, recently reborned as a backpacking globetrotter.

I'm a free-thinker (for good and for worst), graphic designer, drummer, peruvian entrepeneur, video artist, a pseudo prose writer and a rusty origami maker. I am also a former competition tennis player, but that's boring.

I love talking, listening, eating, cooking, drinking, sleeping, jogging, eating some more and doing things I never did before. Oh, and gin.

Some friends call me the Party Boy and my looks allow me to personify a Colombian drug dealer, if the situation demands it.

PHILOSOPHY

Not standing still, ever.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

For now, as I am travelling, I can participate by giving you company and sharing the experiences and views of a portuguese guy (how many have you met?). Once I have my own place —in Lima Peru in a couple of months— I will most certainly provide a place to stay.

Scout promise!

P.S.: I was indeed a scout for 2/3 years.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Although I'm new at the website, I've been couch-surfing for a few years now. It all started when I did my first interrail with a friend of mine, and as she was way more experienced at the time, she was the one in charge of everything. Hence, she arranged all the couches as she already had an account filled with feedbacks and photos, while I had none.

Time has passed and I didn't have the need to create one—until now— and now I need to explain it all in this boring text so you don't think I'm just an opportunist that created a couch-surfing account for just one trip and never return again.

I'm aware that my word means nothing to you, but if there's one thing I can say for certain is that I am a good and easy-going person who just loves to travel as much as you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seen the norwegian Fiords after climbing rocks and small waterfalls for two hours while being overtaken by the elderly, since my friend (landscape architect) kept taking pictures every thirty seconds.

Was absolutely worth it though:
