About Me

Im a passion driven person! For me its better to not engage in stuff, if i cant do it full-heartedly!

My friends describe me as a very funny person, that loves to have fun and make people laught!

A kind and spontaneous person, that can be impulsive and stubborn at times : P. I consider myself quite assertive.

I have a strong sense of honor (samurai alike), and follow my belives. I dont like fake people.

I love animal and i am very concerned about their wellbeing, i am also an ovolacto-vegetarian.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am at a time of my life that i need a little break, and what is the best way to do that? Travel the world, of course :)! That way i can know new places, different cultures and met new and unique people!

Im new to Counchsurfing, but i see it as a great way to travel! Its a more interesting and personal than staying in hostels, because it allows a person to stay with locals, and enjoy a deeper experience of a country's culture. The host can also give me tips of places to visit. And of course it more budget, witch also important hehe :D!

Interests

Chinese Medicine and oriental cultures of course, thats why i try to learn more and more about acupuncture!

I love almost everything that comes from japan: martial arts, anime and manga. Im currently studying to learn japanese :).

I put a great emphasis on my health, and regularly try to do sports, mostly running and martial arts, but also some swimming. Im worried about what i eat, so i search about nutrition and food. Im currently a vegetarian!

I love animals and nature!

Im not really a party animal, prefering to do something quiet like watching a movie, listening to music, or chilling out with a small group or friends. But party are also nice from time to time!

Music, Movies, and Books

I like rock music in general, some metal and also come classical music. Japanese rock is a personal favorite of me! But im also open minded to all kinds of good music..depends on the moment :P.

I love Japanese anime: series like Hunter X Hunter, Samurai X, One Piece, Death Note, FMA Brotherhood and among my favorites.
My favorite TV series at the moment are Vikings, Breaking bad, Game os Thrones
As for movies i like mostly Thrillers (i love things with emotion), also action movies and some comedies.

"Book of five Rings" has to be my favorite philosophical book ever! Shows in deepth what is the spirit and mind of a true Samurai.
I also read technical books about animals, acupuncture and so on... For entertainment i read mostly mangas. ^_^

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Exit the Tatra mountains, in Slovakia, after the nightfall, completly alone with no food/water/light :D

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you somethings about Chinese Medicine, which is pretty interesting, along with Tai chi or a meditation system called Chi kung.

We can share histories, and learn lots of interesting stuff together! I can teach you some delicious veggie recipes :)

What I Can Share with Hosts

Talk about Portugal, portuguese culture and persons.
Explain Oriental medicine and the fantastic philosophy behind it. I can even give a demonstration of Terapeutic Massage to my host :)!
