Hello,

I'm an ex-EVS Volunteer that was working with children in Romania. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEWzifyp10w

Now, after finishing my project I want to continue travelling and I hope Couchsurfing can help me with that.

I make photography and music, I play the guitar, I like to film and edit video and I used to study multimedia design in Coimbra, Portugal. www.phutil.tumblr.com

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because I want to travel a lot, for the moment I don't have that much money to go on hostels, that's a strong reason I have to be honest, but also it's true that it's much more fun to stay with people who know around, the hidden places and the routines, who want to show you something nice from the city, from their perspective, or maybe just talk with you, that's awesome as well. In this way you get to know much better the place and its ways.

Interests

Photography and music are probably my main interests. I compose electronic music, I play guitar and keyboards. I love to talk. I love surprises. I love to read. I love movies. Oh, and I also write. I wrote a diary for some years.

Music, Movies, and Books

In music I listen to everything but most of the time I listen to electronic.

Books: I've been loving everything I've been reading lately, so here goes a list of what I read not long ago (no particular order): On the Road (re-read), The Great Gatsby, Rum Diary, Fear and Loathing in LA, Pickwick Papers, Kafka on the Shore, After the Quake, Tropic of Cancer, Polyglot, Scott Pilgrim, various Dostoyevsky short stories. (wow what a mix huh? There's no coherence at all in these choices, now I just realised that)

Music: I listen to lots of different stuff. Lately I've been going for:
In electronic: Aphex Twin, Bonobo, Gorillaz, Stephan Bodzin, Extrawelt, LCD Soundsystem, Lusine
In rock: Tame Impala, Mac the Marco, King Crimson, the Beatles,
In other random stuff: Miles Davis, Nils Frahm, James Blake, Keith Jarrett, Filho da Mae.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I used to do cliff diving on the amazing paradisiac coastlines of my hometown in Algarve. I've jumped into the water from a rock 10 meters high. I was like 16 at the time and I think I will never have the courage to do something like that again.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm interested in languages. I want to improve my German, Italian and Spanish but I would love to know some basics of as many languages as possible.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Stories! And weird theories. And music, if you have instruments :-) I can also offer some pictures! And I really love to cook. Usually I just hate going shopping and dislike cooking meat - but apart from that I really really love to cook.
