A bit about me:

- Based in Portugal since 2020.

- Lived in Laos/Thailand for 5 years.
- Spent 3 years in Paris.

Currently residing in Albufeira/Portugal since 2020, I have a cozy 2 bed room apartment just 1.500m from Oura beach. Your stay includes a private room with a double bed and a balcony with a garden view. While I work from home teaching German, you're welcome to use my space with high-speed fiber internet or explore the surrounding area with my recommendations. I'm usually free after 8 pm, enjoy cooking at home (you're welcome to join or cook something you excel at), and, while I generally avoid meat, I make exceptions. I occasionally indulge in wine or beer – feel free to bring some along. Excited to host you and hear your stories!

Por qué estoy en Couchsurfing

I embarked on my Couchsurfing journey back in 2010, and it has undeniably transformed my life. The generosity, openness, humility, and passion for travel exhibited by fellow Couchsurfers continue to inspire me. Our shared values forge instant connections, turning strangers into immediate friends. Through this community, I've adopted a frugal travel lifestyle, embraced minimalism, and learned to find joy in life's simple pleasures while keeping the broader perspective in sight. The experience has taught me to reduce judgment, focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses.

Life is fleeting, and in its brevity, we must seek out those people and moments that enrich our lives permanently. Opting for quality interactions and face-to-face connections over perpetual screen distractions, let's come together to share our stories and dreams. After all, it's in these genuine connections that we find lasting fulfillment.
