About Me

CURRENT MISSION

travelling is a great way to break with preconceptions

ABOUT ME

I enjoy meeting new cultures, from the typical meals to art.
I am portuguese and my country is known for the good food and for a type of music (besides the football player Cristiano Ronaldo).

I always try to taste some local cake or drink. I've been traveeling for some years, and I believe I've learnt infinite things, more that I could percept at that moment.

The simple learning of contempling the good things in our daily life is a kind of art for me.

PHILOSOPHY

being happy with the simple things
"what are simple things?"

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Learn from everybody and share with everybody

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

* Many funny unexpected things like visiting a museum and get closed inside,
* finding travellers at night,
* reveiling an ancient art such as burning a sausage in the fire, right in the middle of the dining table...
* And I must thank to all the people in Brazil who helped me and showed me their cities. I travelled for almost 2 months and I stayed at several chouchsurfers houses. Besides that, I was helped in many practical situations, like getting a cell phone. This incredibly simple action is more complicated for foreigners. So couchsurfing helped me in several ways. The one bad situation was only a detail and don't change my opinion on this project.

Music, Movies, and Books

I enjoy listening to most of music types.
I have grown up listening to Cesaria ÃEvora, the Doors, Pink Floyd, Martinho da Vila, classical music and some Jazz music. It probably gave me an open music mind. The same happened with books.

Teach, Learn, Share

there are so many things that we can learn from each other!
I can teach to speak some languages, some cooking. And I carry some portuguese music to share or even sing :)
