About Me

I am pretty much the guy that wants to learn about everything. I love meeting new people of different countries and cultures. This is why I did ERASMUS in Germany and I met a lot of different people. I just loved the experience. Right now I am doing Erasmus in Darmstadt, Germany again.

I love to explore nature, learn new skills, improve old ones.

Also I am one of the main organizers of a group in my city to meet up with foreigners and help them know the city and find nice people. We try to have one event every week. If you're coming by, feel free to check our facebook page :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to meet new people and know their habits and cultures. I don't mind only to chat with them, but of course it would be awesome to meet them, either in my country, in their country, or even in other country!

Interests

I love Sport, mainly martial arts (like Taekwondo), running and cycling.
Music makes my life easier in terms of listening or even playing/creating (even though I'm an amateur)
Physics, electronics, programming, robotics. Just love the possibilities of creation.
Camping and traveling really does relax me and at the same time, gives me adrenaline.

Walking is maybe one of my favorite things. It's the best way to know and learn about a place!

Music, Movies, and Books

It's hard to choose a favorite music so this is usually my answer: "I like all the music, as long as they have quality".

I don't pay much attention to movies, but I do accept recommendations. I am more into series, like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Vikings, etc., or animations (usually Japanese animes). I also watched a chinese series called "Three Kingdoms".

I used to read a lot and love to, but as soon as I got into University, all I have been reading are articles. However, I do accept recommendations :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I made a trip of 14 days around 5 countries in Europe all by myself, with a backpack, being hosted for a couchsurfer for the first time! It was a big adventure for me. But I will for sure go for a bigger one!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach Portuguese and help with English. Also I can teach something about my city or even my country.
I will learn anything someone can teach me. I just love to learn.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can share my experiences, my knowledge and a place to stay when possible.
