ABOUT ME

Originally from Aveiro, Portugal. HUGE soccer fan, probably my only major vice. I like to do new things and explore new places. I pride myself on my sarcasm and wit, though there are times where I fire in the dark and find both of these factors missing!

PHILOSOPHY

"These things bring you to reality as to how fragile you are; at the same moment you are doing something that nobody else is able to do. The same moment that you are seen as the best, the fastest and somebody that cannot be touched, you are enormously fragile."
-Ayrton Senna

To sum up the words of the best damn driver ever, it is when your at your peak that the few cracks in your armor are the easiest to expose and weaken.

I don't believe in the whole live everyday as if it were your last b/s, because if I did, then I would've robbed a shit load of banks and contracted multiple venarial diseases...

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Just looking to have a generally good experience, that's about all I hope for. Currently don't have a couch (well I do, but I'm sorry I can't pretend to make New Jersey look like a fantastic place for visitors! For the record don't ever go, don't even fly over it, the stray bullets from Camden could clip your plane's wing off!!), but I'm looking to move back to Manhattan soon(dormed and then briefly had an apartment in FiDi). I'm hoping to do something really cool with my room and staple down pillows ALL OVER the place... which would be optimal for surfing!
