About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Roaming to the Meaning of Life

ABOUT ME

I'm an open minded guy who likes to make new routes and is never satisfied (wich can be good and sometimes tiring - i like it).
I am allways thrilled to meet new people e to cherish the ones i've admire.
I guess i'm pretty cheerfull and a party kind of person.

PHILOSOPHY

Frontiers are egoistic boundaries. They were formed in a highly constructed and imaginary fashion. They should never be in the way... This kind of cosmopolitan notion should be global. That's is why i identify with the Couchsurfinf spirit.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I´m doing everything i can do promote de CouchSurfing Experience and, above all, the CS Spirit.
I organize and attend a lot of meetings, specially in the CS Lisbon Group!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Interests

I'm very interested in Cinema, Photography, Sociology and Politics, Scuba, Basketball, trekking and sports in general.
I'm a major concert consumer! Just love the spontaneous comunion between people with similar tastes, views and atitude towards life!
