Hello!

My name is António, I'm a portuguese student from Lisbon. I'm vegetarian and although I grew up in a city like Lisbon, I love being out in the wild. That's why I'm studying to be an environmental biologist in the future. I love traveling around the world, I've been mostly around Europe, but still visited amazing places! I hope couchsurfing will allow me to travel farther

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find that the most important thing when you are traveling besides all the tourism, is the people from the.places you visit. Because they are the true representants of the culture of one place. Couchdurfing allows me to do so. And in fact you have wonderful experiences by doing this. You end up enjoying and taking more out of your journey! :)

Music, Movies, and Books

My top favorites bands are The Beatles, Supertramp, Dire Straits, Radiohead and Pearl Jam, hence I love all sorts of rock 'n roll music. My favorite movie trilogy is The Lord of the Rings but if I had to point one movie I would choose Forrest Gump. Jules Verne is my all-time favorite novel writer, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, by Ernest Hemingway is defenitely my number one choice as a novel.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've been two months in Norway, in a village called Hildre at the West Coast. I worked in an animal farm during that period, doing all sorts of farm tasks and in my free time I had the opportunity to hike in middle of the fjord and I also visited places like Oslo and Norfjord. It was a cold adventure but a beautiful one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I love sharing all sorts of knowledge hence I'm interested in areas such as History, Sciences and Sports.
I also like teaching activities like drawing and cooking and learning craftwork. Above all, the thing I look for is sharing experiences, whatever they are.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love talking about any kind of subject, as people talk, they share knowledge of their own experience and that is beautiful. Besides that I love cooking, teaching or learning new things about this art is amazing. And of course the best of Portuguese culture and lifestyle habits. I'm proud of sharing a bit of my country with people all over the world!
