About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Live life to its fullest

ABOUT ME

Among many other things, I like to work and to travel! They both make me look at things from other angles and think about myself and about others. Every new adventure is a challenge.
Traveling by myself makes me more alert and tests my own limits, endurance and patience, but I can easily adapt to my friend's plans when traveling in a group.
I'm usually quite sociable, but I guess I can be grumpy too... I don't think it happens too often ;)

PHILOSOPHY

Live life to the fullest

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Sharing a flat does not always make it possible to host someone. I'll be able to do so in in-between flatmate situations. When this happens, I'll change my status to Couch Available.
Nonetheless, if hosting is not possible, I would be happy to show people around Lisbon, have a coffee or a drink and introduce them to my friends... but my free time always depends on deadlines and the amount of work I have to get done to meet those dealines...:S

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I have hosted once and couched also once, but have met a whole load of fantastic people thanks to CS!
