hey, im José, 27 years old, from Portugal, Lisbon! currently im living\working in Switzerland for the winter season!
I work as professional cook for for years but my degree is hotel management. all the internships that I did, I was always in the kitchen and sometimes I suppose to be in front office haha
my hobbies are swimming, cooking, read, walk.. I really love to walk and get lost!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have all my family in Switzerland! After 3 years working in a really nice Guest house in the heart of Lisbon I meet people there from all over the world, that inspire me a lot! I knew it was time for change and I want to experience new cultures, new ways of living, meet knew people.. anyway I just want to experience more!
As I wrote before, my family are all in Switzerland for a few years and I didn't have nothing in Portugal that makes me be there... except my friends of course!
so I thought about couchsurfing, I guess its one of the best ways to meet new people and what makes this "app" great its because the people that host most of the times they are locals!
