About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Change the world, changing myself

ABOUT ME

I am the younger of three brothers and probably the crazzy one. Well, I already have 4 nephews and I was a scout boy, so I should have some sense of responsability. I love to know people, specially from places where the culture it's radically distinct from my own. I like to help people and the best time of my life was in an orphanage in Mozambique where I gave classes. I will repeat it in East Timor. My everyday goal it's to laugh at all time.

PHILOSOPHY

Believe in the impossible because it will never disappoint you.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Knowing people from different places it's an excellent way to have a better perspective about the world and to reduce distance between people.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I will make a 8 months trip around the world starting in April, so in a couple of months I will have more thing to say

Interests

I like to share things such a kitchen, a bottle of wine or exciting futball game. Try new things and test myself really motivate me.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I jumped 4 times from a airplane. I am pround of that because I did it to fight the vertigo feeling. In south africa I saw a family of rhinoceronts just ahead of my car. It was amazing

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to cook and play guitarr, so I could share the best that Portugal has to offer. In the same way I am looking for new ideas, perspectives...
