I'm a 29 year old male. I was born and grew up in a small city in the center of Portugal, called Viseu. When I was 18, I moved to Porto so I could study in the Engineering Faculty of the University of Porto (FEUP). When I finished my degree I found a job in town, and I stayed. I live in Porto since 2005.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

More than the monuments, the places and history, the cities are made by the people who live there. Only by getting in touch with the locals, you can really understand a city and the way of living.
