About Me

I am a leaf,
flowing with the wind of the world's beauty,
searching for everyhting and hoping to find nothing,
just living, learning, sharing and embracing what reality is,
loving Art to transform what reality is,
being a Camaleon to discouver new colours,
and using words to build poetries,
that do not represent what we are,
they simply are...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am on Couchsurfing because I love to create deep relations with people from the places where I am travelling to, I want to live as you live, to use your language, expressions and humour as you speak, I want to put myself on your skin for a while and forget my eternal soulmate - Lisbon!

I have done Couchsurfing a bunch of times, and I always had extremely profund experiences in many different places - I haven't forgotton none of them, as so, I will continue to do it forever...

Interests

I am really interested in reading and writing, psychology, and all kinds of Art expressions or Art lifestyles - I need Art!

I also really like urban atmospheres and at the same time I love all kind of natural environments (I lived my childhood between Lisbon and the countryside), specially the sea! I use to give surf and bodyboard classes in Portugal, and the Water element is something with who I have a special relation.

Music, Movies, and Books

MOVIE - "The Holy Mountain" - Alejandro Jodorowsky

Music - Frou frou - let go
