CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I was born a normal and sweet baby but for several years now and for some special reason my mum keeps repeating that I have turned into everything but that!

PHILOSOPHY

"Well-behaved people rarely make history" (I heard this on the street once)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I have been familiar with the couch surfing concept for a long time now. Even before the concept had its own release. Cutting the long story short, I have been hosting people for many many years and most part from traveling connections or from friends requests than from any other way. Because CS shortens distances by providing the travelers the opportunity of great contact sharing through this not-that-much-user-friendly web-based platform (I had to say this damn it): It made all the sense to me to sign in!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have always done it by contacting people directly, I am so sorry for having so many friends. One of these days I will do it in the real CS way. I have only hosted through CS so far!

Music, Movies, and Books

A movie-watcher, also spend too much time with music and could spend more time with books.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

One time I had an Australian mate surfing my couch for a few weeks at my parent's in my hometown. His name is John (I hope he still has a name) and he used to play the guitar. Very good singer indeed, did a lot of work with him on the street which ceiling we shared for a long time on the south of Portugal. We crashed at my parent's for those weeks until he decided he was going back to Australia to "recharge his batteries". While we were there, we visited my grannies at their place and sometimes had dinner too (this happened 3 times maximum). They didn't spoke much of English, barely nothing to be honest but my grand dad surely made an effort. When john decided to leave the town we were at my place gathered with another Australian friend (Levy) and his dad who was a cool guy too (everything but a conventional type of father for the time) and that would drive them both back to Australia. We said goodbye in between hugs and spliffs and contacts exchange and signed out of that page of time. I didn't visit my grannies in the 2 days that followed, but when I poped in to say a quick "HI" my granny started telling me a really great story: "John was here a couple of days ago", she said. "Your grand dad went to the front door and when he opened it John took his hand and walked with him to the living room couch",she said, "then, he took my hand, you know I can't speak his language, and sat me on the couch together with your grand father", she kept telling, "and then, he knelt down before us and sang us a beautiful song that lasted a few minutes. Then he said 'thank you' and left." this was 14 years ago, I never saw john again.
