I'm from Portugal but live in London at moment.
Except for when I'm away on some remote mountains somewhere else! (which happens pretty much every wekend)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's a great way to meet new people and come in contact with new cultures when travelling.

Interests

I take every opportunity I can to go hiking. The wildest the place the better and preferably find a camp spot away from everything and enjoy a warm meal under the stars.
If I can't do that, I spend my time climbing or praticing martial arts.
Love boardgames and painting,but the busy PhD life has kept me away from those hobbies for a long time...

• cooking
• camping
• rock climbing
• kung fu
• judo

Music, Movies, and Books

Lord of the rings of course!

Music: my friends say I got stuck in the 80s.
Not entirely true... My alarm clock is Thundersrtuck by ACDC though.
I also (try) to play the harmonica.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Built an electric car that, with a quarter of your toaster's power, can safely reach 80 km/h with someone inside it.

Also hiked 370km in Iceland with no support last year. A trip full of wild volcanos, abandoned hot springs, hypothermia and interesting stories!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can probably tell you about some amazing hiking destinations.
Can try to teach you some languages as well. I say try because numbers is more my thing :)
Of course that if you are remotely interested in climbing (or even if not at all) it is my duty to take you climbing!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Hopefully some interesting stories.
And my cooking skills which have been praised all over the world!
