I was born and raised Porto, Portugal. I see myself as a young man of simple pleasures. I enjoy physical activity and almost every genre of music (especially rap). I consider myself a friendly guy, I like making friends and preserving the ones I already have. I like discussing all kinds of subjects, from sports to sciences or politics. I also like exploring the nightlife, if in good company.

I'm not a fantastic cook but I know how to keep a belly full.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I first tried couchsurfing in september 2014 and loved it!
The combination of travelling on a budget and getting to know people with different cultural and personal backgrounds fascinated me from the start

Interests

I spend my time listening to music, hanging out with friends, playing videogames, working out and reading.

On an academic level, I'm into sociology, politics (international relations) and occasionally literature
