CURRENT MISSION

Romantic in books, realistic in life. I enjoy the small pleasures of life and believe that each of us creates is own meaning of life through knowledge, which I believe is the main goal of my own destiny - to learn. This is why I enjoy travelling, reading, and talking to others.

ABOUT ME

An interested guy who seeks fun and enjoys the equilibriums in life. While seeking the truth may be an arduous path, seeking laughter seems to me a much easier way to reach it - an therefore, you will find a person who is always ready to listen, to laugh, to tell, and to try to create a nice relation regardless of the time spent with others.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Essentially as a way of meeting locals. I myself come from a small town in Portugal and know the true difference between staying within touristic places and with locals - as I appreciate genuine experiences, I believe couchsurfing is the best intermediate to do so.

Interests

As the portuguese Nobel winner Saramago told once: "Don't rush, but don't waste time". I try to apply this generally in everything, and divide my time between study, classes, friends, family, books and travelling - easier said than done though!
