I am a portuguese student born in a small village near the amazing city of Coimbra but I am currently living in Lisbon for academic purposes.

You can stay in my room but I don´t recommend it because it's 30kms from Coimbra and you don't have any public transportation, it's pure countryside, but if you want some peace and to know more about Portugal you can stay ( I am not there all the time, just weekends and holidays) and I will be pleased to show you the nearest beach (15km), and the fields.

My next trip will be to Germany and Denmark. I would like to go to Berlin, Hamburg and Copenhagen but I am open to also know the "true" lifestyle of the region, like staying in some smaller cities between cities. I have already went to Koln and Dusseldorf and I stayed one night in Langelfeld in the way which was amazing to really discover the region.

About my trips, I am putting aside the idea of being much time in museums in the capital, I want to know the people and the culture, that's what matters.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Well, to be honest I signed to cut travel costs, but know I am getting that Couchsurfing is muuuuch more than cheap stays, it's a family of travellers and everyone wants the same, to discover new places and new people. I am getting that travelling is not just going to the tourist spots, that's the basics.

Interests

Traveling of course, I love to discover new cities and new people, and with a plus of discovering more about myself.
Muay Thai is another way that I discovered me, the hard works and the humbleness that a contact sport brings is amazing.
Nowadays I don't have a lot time to read what I want, but some books marked me forever and I find time to read them again. Like 1984, Brave New World, Metamorphosis and so on.
Music is a part of any solo traveler, I also enjoy a lot music festivals, maybe no as much as traveling, but they are in my heart.

I am getting verified very soon!
