About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Learning, watching, travel. Share knowledge, experiences and make the most of this brief passage on earth

ABOUT ME

Nops ,that page aint there , as couhcsurfing says to me every time i login.

We always have diferent perception of people, depending on who is watching us. What I think I am, is often different from what others think we are. So I leave this issue to others.

PHILOSOPHY

Make of live the best experience we can, keep learning, and smiling along the way.

Please read my home rules.

Please dont send requests, saying that if i cant host at least meet for a coffe, when in did you just saying that to show interest that in fact you dont have.
It,s just to make the request more appeal...
It really, really starts to piss me off.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Spend holidays in Alentejo with a beach just for us. The cliffs were so high that no one else dared to come down.

Being in Budapest in the national holiday, when a storm hit us, you can tell we are very little against nature.

Diving in the crystal waters of Punta cana, with the fish around us to feed.

My first trip alone abroad.
