About Me

I'm 30 and I always travel with my guitar.

As a musician (I play and sing) right now I have some professional projects, such as Pensão Flor and Macadame. I also have a solo project where I sing in Bars, Hotels, in the Street!

When travelling, I usually play in the street and live with basic daily necessities.
I'm funny, communicative, I enjoy to talk about culture, to discuss, and to exchange experiences and adventures.

I'm a very emotional person, at least that is what my friends say about me!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Enjoy life and every minute! No plan, just enjoying!

Well I am on couchsurfing because I really like to visit new places, find other persons, discover other stories, others persons, other cultures!

Also because I love to play in the street and sometimes I travell to do that. It's a beautifull way to see other perspective of a journey, to find diferent persons, other "universes". Couchsurfing it's great for this.

Obviously I love music, but I also enjoy yoga, books, riding my bike, children, swimming, walk in the mountains, LGBT rights, children's games, astronomy, poetry, camping...

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have the opinion that going to new countries alone, sing, play and living with only with the money I make in the street is always amazing, so everytime I do that I'm doing something that is amazing, at least for me!

However, another experience that I'm sure that made me love traveling, meeting people and explore new places it's that one month during which I lived in the French Alpes in a tent in the middle of beautiful mountains.
I had the opportunity to meet new people from different places and cultures and it was breathtaking.
I was doing VES (Volunteer European Service) and I really am thankful for that experience.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach guitar or basic guitar techniques (as I always bring it with me) and portuguese gastronomy, food is always an amazing topic.

Well I'm open to learn everything there is to learn, anything that anyone can offer me.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Portuguese and vegetarian gastronomy! Food is always good=) I can talk about my country, share music, books and good places to go.

A llitle bit of yoga...

I can share a cozy concert in the host home, and I say share as everybody has to sing and play!

It's one piece of me that I can share in order to thank you for hosting me!
