- What do I do in life?
Well that's easy! I'm a musician, maker, tutor & researcher of Portuguese bagpipes! :-D Imagine that!!?

- How?!
That's really a long story - I do have a background in the visual arts - Design and Architecture - that does help! But I fell in love with pipping some 20 years ago, and that made me drift from practising my college degree.

- Why?
I believe this passion for the Portuguese Bagpipes comes directly from my curiosity for history and cultures... for everything that shapes us into who we are... Especially languages.

- But what does that amount as a person?
I have come to realize that I can only find myself by looking inwards, through the eyes of the foreigners - "I AM, because you ARE". That's why I decided to make travelling and meeting people an important part of my life.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Meeting people, and finally getting ready to leave the conform of my own coach... Yes... That's it! Traveling...

Interests

- What am I into?
Apart from music, I practice AIKIDO regularly, and I'm interested in improving my knowledge of meditation, Yoga and Tai Chi. I guess it's a matter of travelling "inside" as much as "outside", right?

- Next projects?
I'm getting back on the saddle (mountain bike) and perhaps do the St. James route again... Care to join me? :-)
