Hello! My name is João Carlos Terroso (a complicated name to pronounce). I'm 28 years old. I'm an adventure person and love everything related with culture and history.

One day, I wake up in my house at Seixal (Lisbon) and thought "How boring is my life right now". That's why I decided that I must do a trip without destination.

I'm interested in many things like maths (of course), science, history, arts, theater, and many more.

I can cook with everything, because "If life gives you lemons, do tomato sauce". :P

I'm a pacific person and I can adapt to any kind of environment. I'm gay too (sorry homophobic people).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Basically, I'm in a initial phase in travelling and in CS. If my experience goes well, I will open my house to host other people.

Interests

I did amateur theater between my 16 and 24 years old, but I quit because of my job. I like to see a good movie and to read a good book. I love everything related with performative arts. I have a peculiar interested with Brazilian culture.
