About Me

Hi! I love the place I'm lucky to have born in but I crave for more and that's why I've created this account. I know very little about the world and to contradict that state of mine I'll be backpacking through Europe for a month. I want to spend as little as possible because I'm still studying to get a degree so my income is pretty much near zero. I hope you'll want to help me in my journey and if that's so I guarantee you'll not regret that decision. I'm passionate about nature, surfing, environmental causes and almost all kinds of sports. I love learning new things and explore as much as I can. I truly believe there's no better way to grow and get closer to the person we really are and to whom we want to become then through the kind off way off travelling couchsurfing offers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to know the world we live in from a more intimist point of view

Interests

I love volunteering. I try to help in different areas such as retirement homes, kindergartens, hospitals and food banks. It gives me a lot of experience from completely distinct realities and allows me to be more sensitive and responsible when confronting obstacles that come in my way. The one project I never put in second place is Just a Change. An organisation that rebuilds poor people houses in Portugal. I work with them all year and I'm one of their official team coordinators.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm always looking for the next book I'm going to read. I get curious about what makes great books that great and the same applies to movies. When it comes to music I am not that picky. I love a lot of different styles from dubstep to jazz and blues. It all comes down to the mood I'm in.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I skydived. That was one of the best things I have ever done. It was something I could take off my to do list. So was being a surf instructor. I love this sport and being able to pass that feeling you get when you catch a wave to others is pretty rewarding.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can share my language
I can teach you how to surf or skate
I know 3 songs on ukulele
And some vegan recipes

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can't really offer a place to stay because I'm still living with my parents but I'm eager to be able to open my house to travelers that want to learn new cultures as much as I do.
