I'm Zé, a computer's student, in love with science, space and life.
Friends describe me as an easy going guy, always ready to crack a bad joke with the worst sense of opportunity ever.
I love to travel (who doesn't? ) and meet new and fantastic beer flavours. Also, people. I like that too.
As of this moment I'm finishing my MSc thesis and almost ready to take the world by its horns.
I am also vegetarian and an animal lover, and I'm amazingly good and impersonating screeching doors on my violin.

Looking forward to meet all of you!!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Why isn't everybody?? It's THE place where you can join the best of traveling with the best of meeting people. It's THE place where you'll get all the stories to tell your grandchildren. It's the place where you truly live! :D (also, it's cheap)

Although I'm still in the process of getting a place of my own to host, I'm looking forward to it so I can also receive amazing people and their stories from all over the world (and hopefully mars in the future)
